>Description:
I find the following inaccuracies at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

The docs say:

    # XFree86 -configure

I get:

% XFree86 -configure
XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 2 June 2001
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
        newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
        reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE i386 [ELF] 
Module Loader present
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Mon Feb 25 16:32:31 2002
(--) Using syscons driver with X support (version 2.0)
(--) using VT number 9


Fatal server error:
xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O


When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org.


It doesn't seem to work.
Most i810 advice that I find on the internet is also in some
way inaccurate.

Is there any accurate information that can advise me on how
to get the i810 video chipset working with X?






>How-To-Repeat:
Just run the command on an i810 system
>Fix:
Somewhere, somehow, there must be some accurate information
on the i810 video chip and X.

State-Changed-Why:  
The documentation is accurate.  I've helped several people set up 
their XFree86 servers on various systems using the i810. 

Notice the instructions say to run (as super user), 
# XFree86 -configure 

Run this as root, and follow the rest of the instructions.

 I believe I had set my kernel secure levels above 0.
 Reduce your securelevel to 0 or -1 and try again.
