Re: Re: Hi

I am having a similar problem on an IBM Thinkpad laptop. I installed FreeBSD 4.7-RC2 and XFree86 4.2 did not start. What is strange is that I have another partition with SuSE Linux 7.2 and XFree86 4.2 installed and it works fine.

The chipset is silicon motion LynxEM+, which is claimed to be supported by 4.2.

I have tried to use xf86cfg as mentioned in the handbook. But even the generic settings there do not function. In all cases the screen simply turned dark and did not respond.
