FBSD and Nikolas ..

I think I have it scoped out more or less .. from a net bsd site .. this 0x=
7205=20
requires a UniChrome Device .. absent in Xorg 6.7 and 6.8 .. NO VIAble driv=
er
in FreeBSD 5.4 w/ X.org .. NOR .. with FreeSBIE 1.1 X.O 6.7 vs 6.8 ...

Doubt if much QA went into X.org for FreeBSD vs the multitude of drivers fo=
r
less common cards/chips ..=20

Only VIAble fixes are another board or getting rid of X.org .. IT IS UNCLEA=
R=20
what that requires to lose X.org and revert to XFree86_4 like my working Kn=
oppix
3.4 partition.

Many Thanks

/Ev/

+ product VIATECH VT8378_IG     0x7205  VT8378 KM400 UniChrome
