Creative Labs Isn't about to change their attitude on anything. I suggest using a different card altogether. Creative Labs (for years) wouldn't give out any more drivers or support to OS/2 (I'm an ex-OS/2 user :P). Their attitude will be the same with FreeBSD. Like someone said earlier on this post, "Linux is all we have to go on". Linux is all the support we can expect. And assume that creative will only side with a company like Red-Hat under linux and limit their drivers specifically to that company and version! This kinda sucks because the market is beginning to turn into a open-source nightmare!! Especially if drivers turn into module-only drivers with no source code (remeber, a device driver doesn't have to be open-source) I think that's why creative won't release info. -cosmic-665 >fbsd-dave wrote: > > > > So, shouldn't all of us with one or more of these cards write one or >more > > letters to Creative Labs?
