According to the XFree86 -configure generated XF86Config file the card is a VESA graphic card. This may be true (I don't know) but this doesn't work either. When the Screen section Driver option is set to "VESA" it complains about an unresolved variable reference (xf86InterpretEDID) in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvbe.a. I've checked the X11R6 directory structure and this variable simply isn't defined anywhere. I checked Google for "Openbsd xf86InterpretEDID" and only got two hits. Both hits didn't tell me anything about how to get around this. So I used SuperProbe to scan the card. It saw the card just fine - reported everything back just fine except the amount of memory. It said 1MB when it actually has 2MB - I don't think this would cause my problem. Then I used xf86config to create the XF86Config file I attached to the original email. That's where I'm at. SuperProbe sees the card but XFree86 4.1.0 doesn't apparently - even though the 4.1.0 documentation says it supports this chipset. > > > /usr/X11R6/bin/X is a sym link to > > XF86_SVGA as indicated by the documentation. > that's X3 docs, then. X4 doesn't use XF86_SVGA; it uses >/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86, and then loads modules from there. Oh, thanks for the info.
