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
