We'd like to run X (installed version is XFree86 3.3.6). Since the installed graphics card PowerStorm 3D30 supports only 8bit and there seems to be no driver for this card under 3.3.6, we want to install one of our MACH64 or Matrox Millenium graphics cards and run it on 24bit. Are there any experiences or suggestions concerning these configurations (or with some other graphics cards which do their job)? Do we have to insert the card in parallel to the old PowerStorm? Does the SRM console recognize these cards? Thank you for any hints, Ralph. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
