At first, it would freeze the display when inserted and then free it back up when ejected. (Shared IRQ nightmare). After manually massaging all the I/O assignments I got it working but it was a pretty low-performance card. Note also that it installed easily in Linux, but was still a low performance card. All I can say is you may have trouble with it, and since it's a popular, cheap card and *still* not on the supported hardware list you can bet you will. It *did* work, just not very well. $0.02 - JB # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
