Is there any way I can still make my CD-ROM work with FreeBSD? Also, if I buy one of the newer, unsupported video cards, what can I do to make X-Windows work? I mean, the new card won't be available in the X-Win database list. What can I do? Thanks in advance. Please e-mail me directly. Appreciate the time!
