My laptop, a Toshiba Tecra 8100 with a 12 GB, evenly divided in two partitions
runs with none of the problems described.
I run Windows 98 on the first partition (dev/ad0s) and FreeBSD on the second
(dev/ad0s2*). Could it be a version problem ? XFree 4.0.1 and FreeBSD 5.0
(current) is what I have. It could also be the X graphic card driver.
This question goes to the original poster: dO You see the same behaviour
after X11 on Linux and rebooting ?
Which versions of XFree are You running ?
Ciao, derweil,
