I found a way to worked around this eventhough it isn't perfect. I set up the Matrox board as the primary video card in the system BIOS. I think it had something to do with the video bios memory being corrupted. I still need a final solution for this.

No joy! We see the display sync and the cursor works reasonably well, but the display is corrupt with odd vertical lines appearing and colors being mis-mapped such that a terminal window with a black background suddenly has a white background (making it tough to read the white characters). It is fairly random, sometimes looking like it is almost right and sometimes being totally trashed, though the cursor always seems to work. The systems were both running FreeBSD and XFree86 4.2.1. Any idea what might be going on here? Thanks! R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
