I'm afraid the Rendition Verite series are not supported by XFree86. Rendition is a small, fabricationless chip company with a vested interest in keeping the architecture of its chips secret. I'm also fairly sure that no commercial X server is available for the chip. It's too bad because I once had a Intergraph Reactor, based on the V1000, and really loved it...

The site you want to check for video card compatibility is www.xfree86.org. A good combination for FreeBSD / XFree86 / Windows 95 would be the Matrox Millenium + Monster 3D. I replaced my V1000 with an ET6000, which is okay for small monitors. Aaron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
