I have a Nvidia RivaTNT that works great in FreeBSD. And with the patches from Nvidia I have hardware accelerated OpenGL working. I say go even better and get a TNT2 for video. Its not supported out of the box yet but its pretty easy to patch the XFree86 sources to make it work and I think XFree86 3.3.4 should have support for it. -- --Travis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
