Your X Windows would be what supports specific video cards... FreeBSD uses XFree86 by default. http://www.xfree86.org/FAQ/#i740 Q.F16- Is a server for the Intel i740 chipset available? Boards based on Intel i740 chips are not supported in XFree86, as programming documentation is not available. For users of Linux based machines, Red Hat has made a binary only server XBF_i740 available at their ftp server. Check ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XBF for details. So there's no i740 support for FreeBSD using XFree86 (yet). Xi Graphics also makes a (commercial) X server product for FreeBSD. According to http://www.xig.com/Pages/CardMfgrIntel.html the i740 is supported. So there's support for the i740 if you pay Xi Graphics. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
