Hi there,
I have the chance to build my own system from the ground up.
This
system will spend most of its time running FreeBSD, but will also have a
Windows98 partition.
One area of concern I have is how FreeBSD/XFree86 supports video
cards:
I would like to use a GUI and would prefer to use KDE.
I have noticed that the XFree86 port that comes with FreeBSD
supports
many older cards, but it doesn't support some of the latest cards that
are out on the market. This is understandable; BUT, I would like to get
a high end card like the Diamond Monster Fusion that uses the 3DFX
Banshee chip set or the STB Velocity 4400 that uses the Riva TNT
chipset.
If I happen to get a newer card that doesn't have an X Server in
the
XFree86 FreeBSD port but somewhere out on the web I find an X Server for
XFree86 intended for Linux can I use this?
How do I "install" an X Server not in the FreeBSD distribution
of
XFree86 anyway?
Where is the best place to find additional X Servers?
Thank you for your help,
Dave
