I sent this to "freebsd-x11" and didn't hear a peep back,
so I'm widening the net.
I'm running FreeBSD 6-STABLE, cvsupped as of last night. I upgraded
the ports collection to X.org 6.9 at the same time. Under the X
that ships with 6-RELEASE, in the ISO image, and under X.org 6.9,
the symptoms are the same.
The hardware is an Athlon 4400+ CPU on an Asus motherboard and an
NVIDIA 7800 GTX video card.
I'm not running the NVidia FreeBSD driver (yet), preferring to see
the VESA work first before stirring the pot. If I run X -probeonly,
I get a message that "module fbdev cannot be found". This message
is, however, almost unreadable because the probing of the video
card causes the console contrast to drop almost to zero. The room
has to be almost pitch-black before the remaining dim text can be
read. I have to reboot the machine to make the console brightness
and contrast normal again.
Any takers on either of these problems?
