I have tried 3.2 and 3.3, At this point in time, you need to by Xig's Accelerated X (Laptop) product. I have a Dell i7500 with this part, and nothing else comes close to working well. In most cases, there is little or no VESA support offered by the ATI BIOS so the Linux solution leaves you SOL. And I have to admit that Xig's server screams on this hardware; it racks up at about 50% the 2D speed of a Matrox G400 or Voodoo 3, which is nothing to complain about. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
