This X1650 works fine on i386 with both 7-STABLE and > 8-STABLE. I had an old-fashioned ATI Radeon 9200 RV250 AGP with both a VGA and a VGA-on-DVI monitor. With also old-fashioned XFree86 this setting worked good performance-wise, which was in FreeBSD 5, but I haven't tested this in FreeBSD 7 with Xorg yet because I'm very upset about the speed-loss of "modern" software. :-( Furthermore, I don't have the second 21" CRT anymore, so no dual-head for me at the moment. I am nearly sure that for today's requirements, Intel GPUs seem to be the most fitting ones, but as I don't own any of them, I can't give you clues from a user's point of view. In the past, ATI always was my first choice, but today, I would triple-check anything. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
