Did you get any reply to this? > Anyone have any success/horror stories regarding FreeBSD on a Dell > Inspiron 3000 or 3200 ? I have an Inspiron 3000 on which I would like to install FreeBSD. The main problem seems to be the NeoMagic display chipset. Because NeoMagic don't publish their specs, XFree86 doesn't support it. Jeff Shorey has done a port: <URL: http://www.mnsinc.com/js/Neomagic.html>. RedHat have done a binary-only port for Linux:<URL: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XBF/README.neomagic>. And Xi Graphics <URL: http://www.xinside.com/index.html>; have a $200 X server which supports NeoMagic. I haven't even started to think about the network/modem card.
