    Excellent tip, thanks!

    I have been running my EPIA 6000 on CURRENT with an add-on ATI PCI
    video card because I couldn't get the built-in one to work with the
    standard XFree86 load. Thanks to your point, I'm now running the
    XFree snapshot on the built-in CastleRock. I had to add into my
    kernel:

        options INET6 #IPv6 communications protocols

    to get X11 to work -- it complained about inability to open an IPv6
    socket otherwise.

    One oddity: the text is noticeably smeared on my LCD versus text when
    using the ATI card. I'm running at the LCD's native 1280x1024
    resolution. Same cable as when I used the ATI card. Poor analog
    circuitry?

    Hmmm, I see this in dmesg at boot:

        pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 17.5 (no driver attached)

    but there's no /dev/pcm devices. There's also no /dev/MAKEDEV in
    FreeBSD-5.x so I'm confused about how I talk to this audio chip. Any
    clues?

    FWIW, I'm running diskless but don't see that should be a problem.

    Thanks.

    PS: Sorry if this is a bit off topic, 6000 vs 10000, but I figured the
        issues would be the same.
