Let me add my voice to the chorus. :) I've happily run two different ASUS motherboards (A7V266E, A7V333) with an XP 1800+ and FreeBSD 4-STABLE from 4.4-RELEASE through my last cvsup a few days ago. (I switched from the -266E to the -333 after 4.5-RELEASE.) These setups got along fine with different versions of X (4.1-something through 4.2-something) and everything else on my machine. (E.g., GeForce2 MX-400 video.) If you're interested in getting to the bottom of this, what version(s) of X were you trying to run, on what sort of motherboard, with what kind of video card, etc.? OTOH, if you're happy with WinXP, cool. Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
