How about the attached layout for the motherboards page? It opens up some more space for notes and reduces the amount of, well, research required. I hope. I've just done the top few motherboards alphabetically and added stuff where I know what's going on. I'll do the rest too if this is deemed an improvement. -- These are your friends - Adem GPG: FEA2 A3FE Adriaan de Groot --Boundary-00=_xDgrCyymEkx1kn1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="motherboards.html" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; name="motherboards.html" [1]3D"Navigation=20 FreeBSD/amd64 Project -- motherboards =20 On this page we try to collect information about motherboards for the amd64 architecture and their ability to run FreeBSD.

RAID mirrors (at least) are compatible across the controllers as well, so you can move disks from one controller to another. Audio is mostly normal, although the mixer(1) settings are off: the "vol" channel has no effect, so you need to use the "ogain" channel instead. xmbmon(1) does not autodetect correct monitoring mode, needs -I flag. [29]K8V-X 754 VIA K8T800 sk(4) Not Tested Not Tested [30]Joseph Koshy (5.4-STABLE) Audio is yet to be tested. The on-board sk0 ethernet controller had issues with 5.3-RELEASE. _________________________________________________________________ [31]home | [32]contact | [33]legal | © 1995-2005 The FreeBSD Project.
