i am having a problem getting freebsd to display during 
boot using an ati pci-based svga card.  when it get to the video portion  
of the boot process, the signal to my monitor disappears and the monitor  
goes into powersave mode.  a regular ati isa-based card works fine.   
anyone seen this?
btw, the machine does boot, you just can't see anything.
