Yes... Back then it didn't have a configuration file. It used
environment variables instead.
The port maintainer is a TNT2 person and there hasn't really been any
improvement in the driver for that card (no specs). The MGA driver has
progressed quite a bit though, so if you're using a G200/G400 it really
is worth it to get a more recent version.
Unfortunately the current version of Utah-GLX in CVS is broken for
FreeBSD (at least it is on my system). Breakage happened some time
between December 23rd and January 15th. December 23rd source works fine
for me; you should be able to get that version by specifying a date flag
to CVS ("-D 1999-12-23" I think). Further instructions are at
