The card I referred to in an agp slot needed to be replaced with the older card into a pci slot. As far as X - I believe I got 800x600 8bpp working with a 1 meg S3 virge once a few months ago. It seemed trivial at the time - making sure options VESA was in the kernel build and making the appropriate choices in the x windows set up. I'm 100% in text mode with fbsd - don't do windows. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
