I currently have an Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS. It worked pretty well i386 FreeBSD 6.2. I have upgraded my home machine and I am running amd64 FreeBSD 7.2 and it just refuses to go into X. It just hangs. I've been poking around and, based on what I read, some FreeBSD developers and Nvidia have gotten into a finger pointing contest as to what is the problem. Its all very nice but doesn't help me much. So, can any one recommend a good video card? What I'm looking for is * Works with amd64 FreeBSD 7.2 * DVI=20 * PCI-E x16 * 512 MB or more * Not going to cost an arm and a leg Thanks Josef --=20 Josef Grosch | Another day closer to a | FreeBSD 7.2 jgrosch@MooseRiver.com | Micro$oft free world | Berkeley, Ca. --x+6KMIRAuhnl3hBn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFKC4q6y8prLS1GYSERAtxcAJ9IFDAhVN10Ht1oNsh+sSUo+TRn2wCdGjba LvLiQUIUtDIPU8BvukeNMr0= =q8nO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --x+6KMIRAuhnl3hBn--
