right, i *think* that may be because your monitor doesnt support DDC, it reports
'0Mhz'.
are you using a KVM, by any chance? I *strongly* suggest you get X
working without the KVM first, and then try with KVM. of course, you may have
to par down your config, as your kvm may not support higher resolutions (well,
i doubt it in the case of this old pc...)

memtest86+ , available in different forms - knoppix usually has a 2nd boot
option to run it. you may also try the 'ultimate boot cd'.

W98 was shipped on it and it was running correctly; DSL is running well, with the XVESA driver. I have tried to run with another Matrox Mystic card, for the same result.

No, don't go back, there is nothing that older versions can do and newer ones can't. Upgrading to 7.2 is certainly a good idea, but this can surely work even with 6.9 you tried. I'd do something like this: * You must create a config file; you can start with 'Xorg -configure', it will create an initial /root/xorg.conf.new; then you can test it with 'X -config /root/xorg.conf.new'. I think you need something like: in Section "Monitor" HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5 # try also: 31.5 - 57.0 VertRefresh 50 - 70 # try also: 50 - 75 in Section "Screen" DefaultColorDepth 16 # start with the lower value SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection # delete here all subsections with higher colour depth and modes. I think this will start X; then, if you can't get an optimal image, post here new xorg.conf and Xorg log; somebody will help you to tune Modeline and/or something else. * (If you need a really good assistance in creating xorg.conf, use Knoppix; Greg Lehey once recommended it on freebsd-questions@; this one is really different.)

Xorg failed to run on old PC.
hi I am trying to configure an old "cirix166-48Mo RAM" workstation. But, FreeBSD 6.2 installed, Xorg crashes on « Caught signal 11» I tried three drivers, mga, vesa and vga. The driver "mga" failed to load DRI module, which was not requested. The log file, created with no "xorg.conf", can be uploaded here: http://david.marec.free.fr/public/Xorg.0.log It seems that i had the same problem when i tried to launch XUbuntu on it. The only linux distribution that works is Damn Small Linux. Any idea ? Using the latest xorg 7 release ? Getting back to FreeBSD 4.x to try Xfree instead of xorg ? -- ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
