Hi, I've recently installed FreeBSD and I've been struggling with a 
couple of things, most notably my inability to get an Xserver 
working for my Voodoo3 card.  I know xfree86 3.3.5 supports that 
card, and i know there is a project out there that only distributes 
their files in RPMS.  I've tried installing RPM on my system, and I 
can kludge it into working (kinda), but when I attempt to install 
these files I get a message telling me that it doesn't recognize ELF 
file formats. It tells me to use brandelf, which i do using the -t Linux 
attribute... this doesn't work, though,.... i've tried finding suitable 
documentation on this before posting a question to you, but i've 
failed in that respect. if you would happen to know of a way for me 
to solve me problem and get x running it would be great. i 
appreciate your time...
