The graphics chip part of the SP97-V's chipset, the SiS 5598, which is currently not supported by XFree86 3.3.2. It doesn't seem to be compatible with any other graphics chipset. Not surprising considering the motherboard costs $85, less than many decent video cards. The XFree86 folks should add support for this as this is a _very_ popular motherboard at the small computer store where I work. I would guess we sell more than 50 systems a week which use this (decent $579 P-166 systems w/o monitor). --Ludwig Pummer ludwigp@bigfoot.com ICQ UIN: 692441 http://chipweb.home.ml.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
