I am having trouble finding good information on FreeBSD and graphics. Unfortunately, FreeBSD doesn't have as well documented and advertised graphics support as L*nux ... I know that you can run L*nux games like Doom on a FreeBSD box under emulation mode. But I want to do native graphics on FreeBSD. So, has anyone here ever used FreeBSD to display a 1024x768 graphics window without using X or XFree86? Does FreeBSD have the same linear video buffer system as does L*nux? I really want to use FreeBSD instead of L*nux, it deserves the support. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
