Louis Munro [Sun, Jan 11, 2004 at 10:54:35AM -0500]: > I have been building myself a new computer in the last weeks and I am now almost done except for choosing a video card. I have been reading up on the matter but some things remain confused after reading through both this list and xfree86.org, namely what support I might expect for things such as accelerated graphics using either an Nvidia or ATI chipset. ATI Radeon 9200 + XFree 4.3.0 + FreeBSD-4.9-STABLE work wonderful. Don't choose NVidia, NVidia drivers still cause problems (reboot, panics, lockups). ATI simply rocks compared to it -- it is very stable.
