I figured it out. first, ensure you have agp in the kernel, as:
device agp then the xf86config should be like: http://www.grateful.net/XF86Config-freebsd and finally, and perhaps the most important, the freebsd 4.7/4.8 ports collection of mga_drv.o (etc) are BAD and don't work! ;-( I used the mgadrivers-2.0.tgz file from the matrox site instead, and even though they 'seem' to be linux drivers, they work fine on freebsd! move them to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers and then startx. that's what did it for me. I now have xinerama working on freebsd just like it did on linux ;-) even the usb scroll mouse works. happy. ===== (please ignore any YAHOO trailers in this email.) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
