[-- Attachment #1 --] As I understand it, FreeBSD will work with every video card on the planet. As long as you stay at the command line. When you start X server, that is where the card selection becomes limited. Check the video card list at www.XFree.org for the version of X server you are using. The card must match one of them on the list exactly. No extra numbers, letters, or anything else before or after the card name. Exactly means just that. Exactly. ATI Radeon chips are supported by 4.1 and 4.2 xserver, according to the lists. Does that mean the 7500 series? Can't tell you as it is not specifically listed. Is the ATI Radeon 7500 series supported by freeBSD, if not what is an equivalent card that I could use? jmanning@mtco.net [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I understand it, FreeBSD will work with every video card on the planet.
