Hello, I have a FreeBSD system running on AOpen AX4G-N motherboard with Intel 845G(+ICH4) chipset. I don't yet have any monitor on the system and I have very little experience with configuring and running X on UNIX systems, and I have never configured X with LCD monitors. I'm considering buying an LCD monitor, presumably IBM L170p. I am still looking for the hardware with the DVI support. I found that probably what I want is the ADD Card (AGP Digital Display Card), but I have problems locating resellers for that card, so any help is welcome (one example of such card is here: <http://usa.aopen.com/products/mb/add.htm>). I reside in the United States. What problems am I likely to experience with the configuration of the graphics card and LCD monitor in FreeBSD and/or OpenBSD? I'd really like to have a clear, crisp picture on the new system, no matter if I am going to use it as a console or a GUI system. If you have any advices or good links, let me know. Thank you, Constantine. :-)
