Re: XFree problems

Hi Jameel,
        Well, there's good news and there's bad news...

Let's start with the good news:

pci0: <Matrox MGA 1024SG/1064SG/1164SG graphics accelerator> at 5.0 irq 2

The card isn't on IRQ 0 any more.
        The bad news is it still does the exact same thing. I think I'm
just going to dig around for a new card.

Thanks,
Josh
