I will try reflashing the BIOS with the latest ROMpaq.

Re: Multiple issues (FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE)
Well, turning securelevel completely off in /etc/rc.conf fixed X, or sort of. X will start up in 800x600 (which is the LCD's native resolution) using the vesa driver; but, when I try the trident driver, it refuses to run at 800x600 and tries 640x480 instead, which the LCD doesn't like. Results: a black screen. Any idea on how to fix this one? magikman wrote: Lucas (a.k.a T-Bird or bsdfan3) wrote: Securelevel == 1 and thanks for the answer to the fourth question magikman wrote: Lucas (a.k.a T-Bird or bsdfan3) wrote: Hardware: Compaq Presario 1200-XL118 AMD K6-2 500MHz 64MB of RAM Trident CyberBlade i7 video with 4MB shared RAM 6GB ATA66 HD Linksys 10/100 PCCard Ethernet (using ed driver) OS: FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE using GENERIC kernel Issues: 1) The machine will not turn off when I try to soft-off it (ACPI S5 state, shutdown -r or -p).
