OK, I've gotten 5.3-Released installed, and worked around the firewalled ports to
upgrade my ports, and I have Xorg 6.8.2 installed. The system I am working on has
a Radeon X700 PCI Express graphics card, but I don't need 3d, just basic 2d graphics
X-windows support for what I need to develop. When I try to bring up the X server
with the vesa driver, the screen flashes briefly and the system locks up. If I set the
driver to vga X runs fine, but I get at best 800x600x8bit resolution.


So what am I missing? If I specify the ati or radeon driver, X fails to start.
