If a problem related to card support exists I think it depends on X , not
FreeBSD . Therefore
1) be sure you have the 3.3.3.1 release
2) run xf86config . This is a configuration utility that lets you customize
X creating the XF86Config file . At any time you can exit it by typing ^c.
Nothing will be saved . Now , what you should do is to run this program
til you come to the video cards database and check if your card is
supported by X . If it's not you can look at www. XFree86.org for a newer
release that suits your needs, if they have any
3) of course if you find your video card is supported that means the problem
hides elsewhere.....
