Hello All, I am sad to report that I don't have either video card it looks like I have a CL-GD5440 derived chipset or something (i cracked open the case and saw this). It has a supervideo port as well so I find this pretty hard to believe for this little card to only come with 64k of ram and do 320x400 standard. If possible is there a list of supported video cards for X11/Alpha? Sorry to be such a bother. Thanks in advance, Ramon Crespo -----Original Message----- From: Paul Halliday [mailto:dp@penix.org] Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 2:43 PM To: Andrew Gallatin Cc: Crespo, Ramon; 'freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org' Subject: Re: X11 Settings for the MiataGL Andrew Gallatin wrote: > > Crespo, Ramon writes: > > Hello All, > > > > I have successfully installed 4.3-RELEASE on my MiataGL and I was wondering > > if X11 works on it.

Umm.. as200 xf86config-> Now give the full device name that the device is connected to, for example /dev/tty00. Just pressing enter will use the default, /dev/mouse.
