# I justrebuild world and I'm running FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #4 now.  I was

I am having a different problem with DRI, and with an S3 savage card, My 
system does not crash, and DRI enables properly... but when shutting X down, 
the console goes completely blank and new output refues to appear; my monitor 
complains that "Frequencies are out of range". issuing the command vidcontrol 
MODE_279 causes gibberish to appear on the current VT, but the other VT's are 
back to normal; issuing vidcontrol MODE_27 on the first VT clears the 
gibberish.

I will try rebuilding world, and report if it works.
