I am returning to FreeBsd after an absense of years nd find myself trying
to remember how to ride this "bike" with all its new bells & whistles.
I have an Abit AV-20 M/B that has an integrated Unichrome Pro Graphics
with 2D/3D video controller. I am trying to install XFree onto FreeBSD 5.3
and am having trouble getting X11R6.4.5. to work. It seems I need a driver
and noticed that in a discussion on the topic:
FreeBSD 5.3 NVIDIA-1.0.7174 GLX extension problem
Twas said by Randy Dawson:

I wondered if there is a similar driver for the Unichrome. Also some more
detailed instructions for the sequence of commands needed to successfully
add new drivers and carry out the sysinstall would be much appreciated.
Thanks
