This is my machine at school, the school provided these machines to us and I do not really have any extra money to buy something right now. But the issue is not about a conflict because this card works perfectly on NT and Linux (Well we had some difficulties on linux too but it is working fine now) But FreeBSD! it never worked in better resolutions than 800x600 which is very low... This is the case that I cant change my graphics card but I can change my operating system! Linux seems to be more compatible somehow I was thinking that the X is the same so it should work on both Linux and FreeBSD but... I even tried to download precompiled binaries of 3.3.5 from XFre86.org and source code and compile it on my machine nothing happened. Also here my friend who is using Linux is very happy that FreeBSD is not good with X and Linux is working fine :( Evren Yurtesen On Wed, 8 Sep 1999 dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au wrote: > I've had some weird issues like that with both linux & unix .... from > my limited experience it seems just a conflict issue thats usually > resolved with a different card.
