Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sat, 06 Dec 1997 11:47:08 -0800 From: Amancio Hasty Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am not sure whats going on here. I don't see how having a a bt848 card installed would interfere with a matrox meteor;specially, if the cards work on Win95. The only thing that I can think of is that the VXPro+ chipset requires further initialization than what is being done on FreeBSD.
