I have installed 2.2.5 on my P200 machine, and for the most part, the installation went well. The problems I have are in the video card and ethernet controller I'm using. The video card is an old Diamond Viper Pro PCI that uses a Weitek 9100 chip with 4MB RAM and an IBM 9314 pallette DAC. /usr/X11R6/bin/SuperProbe reports this card as a "Super-VGA, Tseng ET4000 chipset with 256 Kbytes of ram and a generic 8-bit pseudo-color dac". Ok, I'm confused. I bought a new D-Link 10/100 PCI ethernet card that uses the DEC 21140 chip. It installed ok but will complain on boot (de0: transmission timeout) and thereafter refuses to work. As far as I can tell, everything's configured correctly. Anyone have any ideas on these? If the video card is a NO-GO, then can anyone recommend the best card to use with FreeBSD/X11R6 (best as in best perfromance, not cost). Any help would be met with unbridled appreciation.
