You want to say me that there is an ATI graphics card that is more powerful than NVidia GeForce? Sorry, but FreeBSD is really good operating system. Good enough for use it on servers. As a system programmer, I wish to have a copy of it on my home desktop. And my son/daughter wish to play games on same desktop. What should I do? Change video cards every day? Whatever? Or use ancient 16-bit NVidia drivers not capable to use even 1152x864x110 Hz? Andrew. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
