http://www.progressive-comp.com/Lists/?l=linux-ggi&m=91750053603759&w=2 I'm just curious, but what direction is FreeBSD taking? I just picked up this really nice AGP video card (Creative Graphics Blaster RivaTNT chipset, 16MB of RAM...specs on it look very impressive)... Its barely supported by XFree86, none of the Creative Graphics cards appear to be supported by AccelX...and, with the above notice, it looks like Creative has a whole department of programmers setup to fall behind Linux... ...is FreeBSD destined to be a "server" environment only, with anyone wanting to do any serious graphics or multimedia needing to fall onto the Linux bandwagon? What do we have to do to improve our imagine? Get the "big companies" like Creative to recognize us and provide us with driver support? Or, is this something that really doesn't concern us, as we are trying to fill a totally different niche? Marc G.
