Hi I am having problems with installing X on this motherboard using the integrated video. It works fine using a Matrox Millenium II which I took off another machine but would like to free up both the slot and the graphics card! The video chip is by nvidia . http://www.nvidia.com/docs/lo/1420/SUPP/SPPIGP.pdf The version number is 013913. According to the board manufacturers this chip includes the circuitry for the on board RJ45 lan connection which does not seem to function under FreeBSD 4.5. (it functions fine with a standard lan card which is taking up another valuable PCI slot!!) Support for linux/open GL is apparently available incuding a download from www.nvidia.com. Can anyone give me any guidanceon on how to proceed under FreeBSD?. If I try to run XFree using this graphics chip the system crashes. Another issue with the K7N420 is the on board sound chip which I understand to be an ADI 1885. Information is available from: http://products.analog.com/products/info.asp?product=AD1885 When fully configured this machine is destined to handle (among other things) mail as part of the process of moving from M$ mail clients but I want to be sure remaining configuration issues havce been dealt with before moving the mail and other services from dependency on ISP servers to our own freeBSD servers, network and clients. The decision has been made to finally ditch M$ - their new egregiously offensive licensing system was, coming on top off performance and security issues, the final straw. No more dlls!
