Under Red Hat Linux with XFree86-3.3.5 (SVGA !) I could configure a S3 Savage 4 card with 1024x768 resolution, but under FreeBSD-4.0 with XFree8603.3.6 I just get 320x240, what is a very poor resolution. The problema is that I need to run FreeBSD under 20 machines and I will not have neither money neither time to change all cards. Is there any chance to run Linux SVGA server under FreeBSD with Linux emulation? Or, have any one run XFree86-4.0 under FreeBSD-4.0 with a S3 Savage 4 card?
