Hello,

I have a radeon 9600xt and am wondering what I can do with it in 
freebsd. I do not game and from browsing the list have seen that 3d 
acceleration is not possible anyway. I am running freebsd 6.0 and have 
an up to date port tree (As well as installed ports). The most important 
thing right now is getting tv out (s-video) to work. I have searched the 
lists and the forums and have not found any info on getting it to work 
with ati. I came accross the firegl driver that has been ported to 
freebsd, but it fails to install. Here is my xorg.conf:

Is this optimal?

Sorry if I am all over the place, I am just confused by the ati setup in 
freebsd, but essentially what I want is maximum 2d performance and the 
ability to play movies on my tv (s-video out).

Thank you very much,

Casimir Loeber
