The manual on the ATI website for the Radeon 9000 Pro has pictures with the right connectors and the feature list on the Dabs link is fine, except it excludes svga, but maybe that's so obvious a feature that it's not listed. - Orion To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
