The Quicksilver uses an agp radeon 7500 while the B&W uses the Mach ati 128 card. As long as the card is in the proper slot, it should be recognized by the system. Out of curiosity, have you tried running the powerpc 32 bit version of FreeBSD on it? The directions for adding the ftp package path are on the last page of the forum tutorial. I'm also curious as to what the performance would be if you installed it into the server. Open Firmware isn't x86 BIOS; this makes me wonder why Xorg is even looking for BIOs. Also, I've read that theatre and TV options may need to be disabled for now. I'm going to add more later to the reply. I want to look up your model and see what the Logic board is with the main graphics- no ppc64 here, just ppc32. > > My apologies for not being able to find you a definitive solution. >> > > Hey no worries, I really appreciate all the help you've given :-) > > > -- > Ian Chapman. > ______________________________**_________________ > freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/**mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc<http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ppc>; > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@**freebsd.org<freebsd-ppc-unsubscribe@freebsd.org> > " >
