Which also the newest nVidia cards also do. I got a brand new Intel MB based P4 with nVidia GeForce 6 6600 GPU (on PCI Express of course). They run flawlessly in VESA mode (FreeBSD5.3 and 4.10). Fast enough for me as a regular 2D accelerator. But, I guess its the accelerated driver (nVidia bin driver) most ppl will go for, and I have mixed feelings regarding the latest driver. My system became fairly unstable (a bit worse than a standard Windows system too :-( ). This was with the older GeForce 5 5900 controller, though. Stein M. Sandbech --sms
