Please be very careful. The only real alternative (Intel comes and goes) is Nvidia whose driver is binary-only for i386 (no amd64 support) and has a history for being notoriously buggy. I only buy ATI because of the problems I keep seeing people have with the Nvidia driver. I have a friend who

It looks as if you've hit a device driver that is trying to print out a null string. The message you've given doesn't provide any more information than that. If you install a snapshot kernel it will probably have ddb compiled in which will allow you to at least get a backtrace. I'm sorry you're

no APM or X support for IBM A20p laptop in 4.8

2003-09-15 Thread Kip Macy
I just installed 4.8 from the BSDMall CD on my 3 year old IBM A20p. APM worked in 4.6 but no longer does. FreeBSD's XFree86 never worked (RedHat has always worked just fine). I have a commercial X server that worked fine under 4.6 but was broken by changes to libc in 4.8. Has anyone else gotten

I2O support in FreeBSD
