The ATI Mach64 built into the Atlantis : is insane in that it lives on the same port address as sio3 (COM4), so upon : startup FreeBSD would hang, since FreeBSD probes all the sio ports. There : is a solution, which involves editing sio.c and recompiling. I may be getting several GW2000 machines here with a built-in Mach64 video card -- do you know if they will suffer from the same problem? I believe that the MB is Triton-based, but I don't know what type it is. Could a simpler solution be to boot with the "-c" option and turn off sio3 and sio4? -- Jeff Aitken jaitken@vt.edu
