Does anyone else use this video card, and have problems? Would it be sensible to grab XFreeBSD 3.2, and try and install it? I notice on an XFreeBSD page about building kernels for X, it mentions: NB. my kernel is the one prepared by Kenneth Chiu, from the 2.1.5-RELEASE kernel code, and Adaptec driver code from the 10/06/96 version.
