Recently they have started putting together drivers for winmodems under linux, and some of those will also run under FBSD, but all that is recent (last 6-8 months). Also winmodems are controllerless, that's the problem....if it has a controller, it should be fine. Didn't I just say that? > Finally, my videocard uses an nVidia GeForce II MX chipset.

Please reply to > matthew@starbreaker.net try http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.3R/notes.html section 2 contains the hardware list. Of course, this applies to 4.3, and 4.4 is almost ready for release, if you can wait a week. Also, it won't cover the X stuff, becuase that isn't related to freebsd per se. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
