Under linux it just works. Here are my problems. Video card didn't work 1. Nvidia GeForce FX5200 2. added "DefaultDepth 16" to XF86Config and it worked 3. I tried to add: Modes "800x600". Didn't work I decided to give up on the card and switch to the on board video. I can do 800x600 with on board video. Text in X 1. text looks bad 2. Followed the instructions in the handbook and installed the urwfonts 3. Configured X to use them 4. text still looks bad Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I would also like to know if I can get my Nvidia card to do 3D acceleration. If I can get these things to work I may be able to migrate from Linux to FreeBSD. -- Damien Hull
