Take a peek at http://www.suse.de/~hohndel/FreeBSD for some unsupported versions of the predominantely Linux-orientated SuSE servers (see http://www.suse.de and follow the links). [one of them includes support for the Nvidia 128bit AGP/PCI chip, though you need to make sure your graphics card isn't sharing an interrupt with anything else]. There are plans for SuSE to integrate their work into the next release of XFree86 -- when this will actually happen is not entirely obvious at the moment. Personal Note: I haven't tried any of this code myself, so I have no idea whether it actually works :) unfortunately my AGP machine is stuck with Windows 95 for awhile.. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Demon Internet, Austin, Texas.
