I am using FreeBSD for quiet some years now, and I just recently upgraded my PC. Along came a Radeon x1600 (PCIE). Before that I was a happy-happy joy-joy nvidia (-module) user - it just worked. ;) Now I am having a dickens of a time to get the Radeon x1600 working under Xorg (latest) to work - even 2D would suffice. But google'ing around just yielded my own questions in several forums. The ati and radeon drivers (native from xorg, which i am using out of a currents ports tree) did not work with that card. Unless, of course, some magic incantations are required. Just to be on the safe side, I am hording virgin blood right now. Using the vesa driver my screen yells "input not supported", and forcing the vesa driver didnt work out. I got a TFT that can, and should do 1280x1024. Using FreeBSD 6.0 Patch 4. Any help would be more than welcome. Kind regards, Christian Reiss.
