Hmm, the only other thing I can offer here is that I had the console screen set to "-g 100x37 VESA_800x600". How does that fit into the picture? Perhaps I could have left vesa in but just set the resolution to something else. Perhaps the machine just has quirky hardware. It is a VIA KT-133 chipset, Athlon-tbird processor. -- Glenn Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
