I can't seem to get the driver to work for him at present. > Quoting the FreeBSD Handbook: "5.4.3.1 Configuration with Intel i810 Graphics Chipsets Configuration with Intel i810 integrated chipsets requires the agpgart AGP programming interface for XFree86 to to drive the card. To agpgart, the agp.ko kernel loadable module needs to be loaded into the kernel with kldload(8). This can be done automatically with the loader(8) at boot time. Simply add this line to /boot/loader.conf: agp_load="YES" Next, a device node needs to be created for the programming interface. To create the AGP device node, run MAKEDEV(8) in the /dev directory: # cd /dev # sh MAKEDEV agpgart This will allow configuration the hardware as any other graphics board " The URL is: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html Mario Doria > Thanks. > > -- > Conrad Sabatier > > "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy." > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
