Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk well i think i've gotten this wrong twice now. First i got matrox, which of course won't work. So, says i, i'll get an ati mach32, so x will work fine. The machine we just got has an ati mach64 (?) and superprobe is not sure what it is. Anyway, if you have: 1) a good fast video card, that 2) xfree has a server for i'd like to hear from you. PCI is the only bus i've got (well, ISA, but that doesn't count). if there's some simple hint for the mach64 please let me know. ron Ron Minnich |We can think of C++ as the Full Employment Act rminnich@earth.sarnoff.com |for Programmers.
