I used it for non graphics applications, and a little programming when I was on the move. I have since then moved up to a Olivetti Pentium 90, which runs FreeBSD 2.2.1 and X11 like a dream :-) It may be that my memory fails me, but did TI use Chips & Technologies VGA controller chips? Have you tried these or Cirrus Logic (which I believe the newer TI's use)? Sorry about not being able to help you out on this. Best regards, Stein M.
