I catched bad problems when runnig FreeBSD 2.1.0 with Spea V7 Mirage P64 VGA device! Sometimes the Xserver breaks down, killing every output on the graphical output device it is attached to. I have no idea why! the problem occurs after several logins and logouts, then either the server stops working and the system console is shown or the monitor stays dark. for the lucky cases the console is shown I sometimes see that Xservers stops due an caught error 11, sometimes it means it has to be stopping due a protected socket (?????). When stopping screenoutput I try to restart the system over the network, all things seems to be all right but the dumped core in /. The Server dumps its core without any usable information. My configuration is a P90 with an old Intel Plato PCB and a buggy P90 cpu. We use 32MB RAM and the Spea V7 Mirage P64 SVGA adaptor. The Xserver is taken from FreeBSD, XFree-stable (the one is shown in the main path of their server, without a trailing letter). Can anybody help? Please mail.
