Well, the box I'm writing this message from is running a G98 [GeForce 8400 GS] + 3Gb videoram, while not the "latest and greatest", it isn't really "legacy" either. I was /sure/ it'd be a "snap" to setup, but while "functional", it isn't the optimal experience I had hoped for. I guess that's the price one pays for choosing a "closed source" piece of hardware. :( --Chris > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > --
