I run a Voodoo Banshee, with the Creative Labs Linux X server. This is on -CURRENT just before newpcm and newpnp, and XFree 3.3.3. I don't remember having to do anything too wild to get it working. The one problem I do remember is that it doesn't play nicely with /dev/sysmouse. I have to use the real mouse device, and can't run moused. I don't have access to the machine at the moment, so I cannot tell you much more than that. I will take a look at the machine when I get home, and see what else I might have done. I don't run xdm, which might be an issue. David Scheidt To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

The reason I'm trying to do this is because when I run XFree86 3.3.5, it screws up my console display when I exit X. The Linux Server is looking to open /dev/tty9 and it can't. I tried putting a hard link from /dev/tty9 to /dev/ttyv9 but when i started X it paniced the kernel :) Is there any way first of all to fix 3.3.5 to work, and if not, to get the Linux server to work? Is there any way to somehow mimic /dev/tty9 for it? The Banshee only seems to have this problem when switching from a graphical mode to the _standard_ text mode (80x25). Adding the following line to /etc/rc.conf allscreens_flags="80x30" fixed it for me. Frank To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
