If your looking to use X-Windows you need to check which cards XFree supports, or look at something like Accelerated-X (a separate commercial product). I use Accelerated-X with my AGP Matrox G200 - it works fine... I believe current versions of XFree also support the G200... (XFree didn't support the G200 when I got it though :( - I guess I just got impatient :-) -Kp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
