Just a video problem
Heya, pals!
Would someone give me a clue of whatīs happening in here? I have a SiS 6326 video board installed under a FreeBSD 4.2 system, but i canīt figure out whatīs the matter with its configuration. I just canīt connect to Xserver... Setting the configuration with xf86config at the simplest mode didnīt help at al... I am a real dummy in this damn Unix world :-]
THX!
