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. ----------CUT------------- I think the driver for the trio64 specifically says DO NOT probe I used xf86config told it my video card and went with default....works fine.
