I am a somewhat new xfree86 user, and am trying to use a new matrox millenium p750 on FreeBSD 5.1. It is an AGP card, and I have two monitors connected, both by the DVI cables.
I have installed XFree86 Version 4.3.0 from the FreeBSD ports collection. My first step was to run: X -configure and then try to start the new config with: startx -- -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new This causes the screen to turn green momentarily, and then my monitor loses signal. Please note that the XF86config.new ended up with: Driver "VESA" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" In the Device section. ---------- So then I tried: Driver "mga" and I got: (++) Using config file: "/root/XF86config.new" (EE) No devices detected. Fatal server error: no screens found ----------- So, a few questions: 1) you'll note I am not attempting dual head, or anything special - I just want to start X with my monitor and this graphics card - is this possible with the mga driver ? 2) if not ... what needs to be done ? 3) do I need to make any provisions in my config file for the fact that I am running this card on the AGP port ? Or will BusID "PCI:1:0:0" work ok with my AGP port ? 4) my motherboard has a built-in VGA card ... but it outputs nothing when I have the matrox p750 in there, so ... should I worry about disabling it in the bios anyway ? Is it interfering in any way ? thanjs. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
