I'm running a GeForce II MX-based card, so >it should work for a Voodoo5: >http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html Heh--I read it, believe me. For voodoo5 there were a couple of other resources as well, both on Xfree86's website and one from (IIRC) Oregon University. However, I didn't have success--and actually, when I posted the steps I'd followed, someone pointed out that parts of it were trying to get it running in 3d, let alone 2d. :) However, thank you. It never hurts to ask the obvious (I know I've missed the obvious several times.) As it does see that some people have gotten it working out of the box, I'm going to post the link on Xfree's site to see if that helps him. http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/DRI10.html#24 Scott Robbins >-- >Matthew Graybosch >http://www.starbreaker.net >"Sartre was mistaken: Hell is not other people.
