Hey, I've been trying to get X running on a laptop with a Silicon Motion SM710 LynxEM.
When I startx I get a brief flash on the screen (two vertical lines)
but these soon disappear and I am unable to do anything (even
CTRL+ALT+F1) other than SSH in and kill -9 X.
pciconf shows it as: none1@pci1:0:0.
I have the following in my XF86Config:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Silicon Motion Lynx family"
Driver "siliconmotion"
ChipSet "lynxem"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "NoAccel"
EndSection
When I run startx I receive the following (last few lines here):
(II) Loading sub module "int10"
(II) LoadModule: "int10"
(II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libint10.a
(II) Silicon Motion(0): initializing int10
(==) Silicon Motion(0): Write-combining range (0xa0000,0x20000) was
already clear
(II) Silicon Motion(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000
(II) Silicon Motion(0): VESA BIOS function failed
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
I can provide the whole output, if required. I'm fairly sure this is
FreeBSD-specific because this card has definitely been working under
Linux. There is somebody else that has this problem, I have tried
contacting him to see if he got any further but in the meantime any
ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
-lewiz.
