Hi, all,

	I am trying to make XF86 work on FreeBSD with Compaq LTE Elite. It is
486DX4/75, with active metrix display. I followed the mini HOWTO on LCD display and
got all the HorizSync and VertRefresh rate. But everytime I start the X server, the
system reboot with no apparent warning or error message. Any help would be high
appreciated.

	Here is what I I put in /etc/XFConfig,

...
Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "PS/2"
    Device      "/dev/mouse"

    Emulate3Buttons
    Emulate3Timeout    50
...

    BandWidth   30
    HorizSync   32.78
    VertRefresh 62.91
...

Modeline "640x480"     28.32 640  680  720  864   480  488  491  521

...
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "WD 90C24 (laptop)"
    VendorName  "Western Digital"
    BoardName   "WD90C24"
    VideoRam    1024
    Chipset "wd90c24"
EndSection

...
Section "Screen"
    Driver      "svga"
    Device      "WD 90C24 (laptop)"
    Monitor     "My Monitor"
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
        Virtual     1024 768
    EndSubsection
EndSection
