Once support for TGA devices comes abound I can put the old card back in there .. or maybe I can keep them both and just have the monitor connected to the one that works. The video card is quite large .. so I dont want to disturb it :) ... All suggestions welcome as well as cards that will work under FreeBSD/Alpha X11. Maybe we can compile a list of people who are on this list and make it an unofficial X11 FAQ of some sort.

Problem is that TGA cards are not yet supported as console devices so you will be driving blind (I guess) while X has not yet [been] started. -- | / o / / _ Arnhem, The Netherlands email: wilko@FreeBSD.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte http://www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
