Hi,
I apologize for the delayed response. I had to work out some other
migration issues.
I tried your patch and it worked. Thanks for your help there. The side
effect of the virtual consoles getting killed persist but X starts
successfully. I was also able to xdm_flags="" rc.conf and things came up
properly.
The one issue that I see now is that the mouse pointer has sort of 2
trailing pointers. I will try to take a snapshot later.
Thanks again for your time.
Regards
Mohamed

Hi,
I installed snapshot(08/06) on my thinkpad 240x.When I tried to start
X, the lcd flickered and then went black. I was not able to switch
consoles and the only thing to do would be ssh to the machine and
reboot or powercycle it. This apparently has been a known problem for
a few years?and I read reports It was broken in X 4.2.0 release.
Is anyone working on this (Todd?). Can I help?How?I was thinking to
forward port 4.1.0 siliconmotion code, would that be a recommended
approach?
Can you try this patch that updates to the latest X.Org version?

To apply:
cd /usr/xenocara/driver/xf86-video-siliconmotion
zcat /path/to/xf86-video-siliconmotion-1.6.0.diff.gz | patch -p0
make -f Makefile.bsd-wrapper obj
make -f Makefile.bsd-wrapper build
and try to start X
I don't have hardware to test this. Reports from other users with SMI
cards are welcome too.
