Hi
 
I've got a Compaq Evo N160 Notebook that runs an ATI Radeon Mobility M6-P Graphics Controller.
 
I've installed FreeBSD on it and it works fine at the command line.
 
When I try to install XFree86 I run into problems. Version 4 installs then I use the script XFree86 -configure.
 
It comes back with a message saying it has found a valid configuration for the card but ... unfortunately it cannot write the configuration i.e.. it does not create the Xf86config file.
 
XFree86-4 is suppossed to support the ATI Radeon Mobility chipset, but apparently not in my case. 
 
I'm not a total novice and have had success installing linux, freebsd and Xfree86 on other machines, mind you I am no guru either and would appreciate any assistance anyone can offer.
 
Id particularly like to hear from someone who has had success with XFree86-4 and this exact chipset.
 
Regards
 
Dan
