Kirk Strauser <kirk at strauser.com> .. ALSO replied
.. I should forget XFree86 and move smartly over to X.org
.. YES .. Only If I DO NOT WANT to use any X-windows on
either of the last two MoBos I have fooled with this month.
Nikolas ,
I have no idea of where I would find an X.org based Linux quick to try ..
Installing Knoppix 3.4 (sorta debian) was a few minutes ... I expect I
would have no probs with FC3 which runs at work on laptops and
middle age 400 to 1200 mhz office machines.
On FreeBSD XFree86_4.4 (i think I have here) Driver vga paints
garbage, Driver via gets me a fine matte and mouse pointer "X"
but nothing more .. no xterms. etc ..
ALAS .. I mostly disengorged X.org from my FBSD 5.4 AND now
XFree86 is AT LEAST able to paint the screen with a mattte and
show me a mouse .. I am sure I did not loose all the mess ..
when I tried to rebuild gnome .. I got many mentions of
xorg682 debris .. BUT I WAS able to paint a screen ..
X.org NEVER LET ME paint a screen .. FreeSBIE 1.1
let me have a very garbaged and fully X11 screen ...
I have had TWO MSI mobos with onboard video, looked
like VIA / VIATECH / S3 ...
CURRENT Hardware PCI .last, last -1 are VIA .. See SCANPCI
at bottom .. PCI On Boaord video right after the Rhine II Ether device ..
