However for a graphical interface, you're probably looking into using X Windows, and you'll need to check with the author/vendors of your X Server to see if your hardware will work with their software. A popular set of free X servers is XFree86 at www.xfree86.org (easily found on the FreeBSD ftp site or cd-rom), they can easily be installed from FreeBSD's setup program. There are also comercial X Servers out there. I'm fairly sure that the Millenium 2 and Viewsonic stuff is supported by at least XFree86. > Adaptec 2940UW (Ultra-Wide) SCSI controller Yes, the 2940 and all of its variants (except for the Ultra2 models) are well supported, and in fact have a mailing list dedicated to them. > I would really appreciate any help you can give me on this hardware.
