Yours, Others may suggest specific model numbers or the like, but what I can tell you is that right now, your option is another radeon R500 or below. R600+ drm support just got committed to HEAD and will be merged to STABLE fairly soon, but 3d support doesn't exist yet, though it won't be long. I don't expect you will find many of those with an AGP connector though. robert. > -mi >=20 > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-x11@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-x11-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --=20 Robert Noland FreeBSD --=-qLkh0mVrT8oWLmopKLtd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkm1ndoACgkQM4TrQ4qfROPhXQCfQeuYPZGrOxcXOLT5oL/Vm2ZZ 600AmwcF8mIGhu+p1HQd0x6nsQTeYYns =8XUr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-qLkh0mVrT8oWLmopKLtd--
