I cheated in a similar way to get X working with a card that wasn't explicitly listed in the card list and a monitor that definately wasn't listed. I created a RedHat installed on a 340M disk that I use to run Xconfigurator which does a pretty reasonable job of autodetecting. Once I had that as a basis, I could easily move it over to a FreeBSD box and get it working with a few tweaks. (e.g. changing the font server, etc.) For the monitor (which wasn't listed in Xconfigurator's database), I used the following web site to help me create a modeline: http://www.dkfz-heidelberg.de/spec/linux/modeline/ Best of luck. -Steve -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Steve Shah (sshah@clickarray.com) | Developer/System Administrator/Res.
