| Hi All, I'm trying to get the xserver to run on my BSD 3.3 box but I am having problems. I don't know exactly where to go from here so thought I'd post to see if anyone here knew how to resolve this issue. I'm not sure if it is just a config error or an unsupported video card. This is a clean install with no changes made to any config files. Here is the XFree86.0.log file from /var/log. TIA, Jim // XFree86.0.log (--) checkDevMem: using aperture driver /dev/xf86 (--) Using wscons driver in pcvt compatibility mode (version 3.32) XFree86 Version 4.2.1 (for OpenBSD) / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 3 September 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.

Try looking at xf86config(1), XF86Config(5), and XFree86(1). // marc |
