Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to the *nix/FreeBSD OS thing and would like get your feedback
on what XFree86 config utility I should use in order to build my config
file.
I just freshly installed the latest XFree86-4 on FreeBSD and would like to
find out which is the best to use for this Xserver

I am trying to use gnome2 with the mga overlay option turned on. For some
reason, the AA fonts fail only when overlay is turned on, but work fine when
X is run in normal 24bit mode. It appears that the render extension is not
getting loaded or is not found when overlay is turned on. Is this

Folks:
I've been experiencing the following problem when using recent versions
of the X server while also connecting to a network via a PC Card NIC.
The X server itself runs correctly, but after shutdown it seems to hang
the console driver until I eject the PC Card (PCMCIA).
A typical sequence o
We are currently having Xserver crashes with both Matrox G400 and G450's
using XFree86 4.2.0 on stock RH71 machines ( plus XF4.2.0, of course ).
ARE there any dual headed AGP video cards that can be reasonably guaranteed
not to have any problems? I prefer to stay away from any proprietary
driver

I have a Logitech Optical WheelMouse Model M-BJ58
With the below entries in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I get ALMOST full mouse
function.
The only problem is that the scroll-up events are not working. I checked
this by using xev as recommmended elsewhere on this list.
In gnome and KDE 3 the mouse but

I am using 4.2.0. Actually, it is not apps like XMMS that are turning black
either. It is the 8-bit apps that are turning black. I never have a
problem with the normal 24-bit apps.
What is this other bug with overlays that you refer to? (Aside from that

Hi,
I have an app running on a remote machine that needs to pop up some
windows - I can not avoid that. Is there a way to fool this app into
beliveing that it has a display but really the windows it opens would be
thrown away?

The first user logs in through xdm, but the second user is in a different room (or not even the same building) but will telnet to the machine and start the build (which needs access to the X server).
Is there a good reason why an `xhost +localhost` in the first user's .xinitrc wouldn't work?
Hello Sanal,

in the colour map so that nothing is left for other applications.

I am using the XFree86 driver, yet I had tried the
Matrox supplied driver on a dual 1 Ghz P3 with a
Matrox G450 and had worst performance than with the
XFree86 supplied driver.
Hi,
I'm using Xfree 4.2.0 with a 17" Screen and TNT2 graphics card.
Everything works fine, but two things are annoying and I don't know how to
get along with them:
1) I don't know how to set the refresh rate to 100mhz @ 1152x864. Currently
my X is running with about 60hz - that's realy §%§$%
