I've been able to pick up slightly older model ATI cards which when used in conjunction with newer versions of XFree86 provide acceleration. I recently picked up a Xpert98 8mb PCI card online for 20 bucks + it had a 25 dollar rebate. (getting paid to buy something, good concept) I've had good experiences with ATI cards and FreeBSD in general. Good Hunting. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Young" <dougy@bryden.apana.org.au> Date: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 7:23 am Subject: Videocard query > I'd appreciate comments from X users as to what videocards work > well with XF86Config.
