Re: 6.0-RC1: reboot when trying to load X.org

Hello,


thank you, Ricardo! Using the vesa driver it worked OK. I'm just 
wondering now how slow this X.org will be while not using the specific 
driver to SiS boards.

Marcin, I had FreeBSD-5.x compat running already, and I was running the 
GENERIC kernel (as it came for me). Changing the driver has worked, but 
maybe you were right when said to run the 5.x-compat. Anyhow, I did 
already compile the X.org to 6-0RC1 before trying the vesa option.

Thanks again!
