I have got an IBM Pentium 133MHz with S3 Trio64V+ video chip.
The problem is that I can't get X-windows to run on it. I am running FreeBSD 2.2-Beta. I can't even run the XF86Setup utility. If I use the xf86config utility and give it the S3 Trio64V+ card and the other configuration but when run startx or X my screen just blanks out. Trying different servers did not help. Even trying a monitor that works with X-windows did not work. So the only thing left was the S3 chip.
Could anyone help me?
Thank you,
This is what I get when I run X -probeonly.
