Ehm, I think ye are talking about the visual configuration when installing
FreeBSD?
Those conflicts are not `deadly', they merely indicate that certain drivers
might block other drivers should one get probed...
Easiest way to determine yer hardware is to unscrew the case and look
inside. Unix requires one to be at least more knowledgable yer hardware
than the average Windows user... Ye might also want to try the website of
yer PC maker.
Manuals? Ehm, try the FAQ or handbook or else the lists here...
