Hi, All! XFree86-4.2 uses DRI for the ATI cards. DRI works on Alpha Linux (Red Hat and Debian) but not on FreeBSD. The FreeBSD DRI developers know this and will get to it when they can, IIRC. I'm running 4.1 with the old ATI drivers for my 16MB Rage Pro on a 164LX just fine. HTH Dex On Wed, 2002-06-12 at 18:28, Mike Hogsett wrote: > > Forgot to mention.
