Good Day;
I am in the final steps of completing a fresh installation of FreeBSD
8.2 on a workstation with a DFI LanParty motherboard, AMD Athlon 64
processor, 3 GB of ram, an ATI Radeon x2900 graphics card, and root on
ZFS filesystem. Using ports.tar.gz downloaded, and src CVSup'd this
morning, gnome2 is still compiling and installing. While I did have
some minor issues with the build of some dependencies, it was nothing I
could not work through. I was surprised this afternoon when, while the
installation of gnome2 was working, I think it was building GCC 4.4 and
friends, the HP 2010i LCD monitor I use on the machine appeared to lose
the input to its DVI port. The HD activity light was still flickering
so I let it continue and waited a hour or so for it to quit indicating
activity before I pressed the reset button. The PC restarted and no
filesystem errors were apparent on restart.
I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this or, if a PR is
necessary against the Xorg radeon driver.
The ATI Catalyst utility needs windows or linux and I have neither.
There is nothing of value in dmesg or Xorg.0.log
$ uname -a

Thank You,
Michael
PS; Many thanks to the maintainer of the mfsBSD zfsinstall .iso. It
worked flawlessly for setting up this system.
