Hi there,

I'm a newbie to FreeBSD and would like to install 5.3, but I have a few 
concerns about compatibility with my graphics card (Hercules Prophet 4500 
(Kyro II chipset, I think?)). I couldn't find much Info about setting up a 
graphics card in the online installation notes and so I'm wondering wether 
it will auto detect it and if I'll have a decent usable resolution 
afterwards.

I'd be grateful for any help from a wise (kindly) soul.

Thanks for your time,

Rob Cummins.
