I guess you are right, and I shouldn't have bothered the FreeBSD list. I just thought maybe there is a known problem with this hardware that I was unaware of, I'm sorry for wasting everyones time. As I stated in my email I used XF86config script to setup the card and monitor. I then proceeded to try the accelerated server as well as all the default ones and none of them work. I also am not able to use the graphic utility XF86Setup for it gives me the same problem. Rudy. P.S. I'm only replying because you asked the questions. Thanks.
