Hi Stan, > broken server error message (happened w/Linux also). I'm using a >compaq > qvision video card and it's not supported (I selected both 188 & 397 >for > my video card selections). Still nothing. Is there a driver for this ah, that brain-dead p.o.s. It was (supposedly) the 'bees-knees' when it was released, but Compaq wouldn't share with anyone, so it died in the Khyber. > piece of junk video card?

Even a Tseng ET4000 would be "better" (i.e. supported by XFree86), the QVision isn't - see <http://www.xfree86.org/cardlist.html>; . I'd try to rattle around for an S3 card of some sort, specially a VESA (if your machine has VESA slots), or if you're really lucky, I've heard of some late DX4/486's having PCI slots. I'm using a DEC MTE Prioris DX4/100 with an S3 card (and only 1 Meg), but it does the job quite nicely. hth, H To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
