> First of all, many thanks for making FreeBSD and Xfree86 working on PC. > > I have some comments on those, just for your information: Thank you, such information is always appreciated! We don't have all possible hardware to test on ourselves and rely on user feedback to let us know how we're doing! I will make a note that there's still some problems with the ATI Mach 64, or that a possible configuration problem exists. The failure to boot with the 2940 under 0412-SNAP is also disturbing and I'm sure Justin will follow up to it. Thanks again!
