Why does the screen go black and lose sync when I boot?

Frequently Asked Questions for FreeBSD 2.X, 3.X and 4.X
This is a known problem with the ATI Mach 64 video card. The problem is that this card uses address 2e8, and the fourth serial port does too. Due to a bug (feature?) in the sio(4) driver it will touch this port even if you do not have the fourth serial port, and even if you disable sio3 (the fourth port) which normally uses this address. Disable sio0, sio1, sio2 and sio3 (all of them). This way the sio driver does not get activated -> no problems.

Why do some programmes have black bands at the top and bottom of the screen?

Reception Advice: Frequently Asked Questions
Today, many programmes are produced in a widescreen format with an aspect ratio of 16:9, or are films made in widescreen for the cinema. They are often transmitted in widescreen on digital services. In order to show more of the width of the scene as the director intended, small black bands are placed at the top and bottom of conventional analogue 4:3 aspect ratio screens. Digital widescreen sets do not show these bands, and most widescreen TVs allow the viewer to "zoom" into the picture.

Q.D4- Why do I get a mostly black screen with my Diamond Speedstar A50 (SiS 6326)?

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about XFree86
If you have a card with 8MB of video memory, first try telling the X server that there is only 4MB present by adding the following line to the Device section of your config file: Videoram 4096 If you have a 4MB card, or if the above line doesn't help, try adding the following line to the Device section: Option "nolinear" A drawback with this option is that colour depths higher than 8bpp can't be used, but that is better than nothing.

After imaging, upon rebooting, the computer hangs with a black screen. What should I do?

Managed Windows Service (MWS) Installation - Computing Servi...
The only reason imaging works is that after the image is applied, a mini-hardware detection process is run through, which notices differences in things like network and video cards in your computer relative to the computer where the image was taken, and installs the correct drivers. But there are some things that are so low level that they cannot be handled by this process. One of these is called the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL).
