In <45351E55.000003.14882@webmail11.yandex.ru>, Victor Ploshykhin <rax-rax@yandex.ru> typed: > I have FreeBSD 6.1 on AMD64. Unfortunaly there are no nvidia drivers for video card in my computer. So I will put another one. > Could you tell me what video cards are REALLY supported in this configuration. For what purpose? I used a pair of nvidia cards on my amd64 desktop for months. I've since discovered that the driver I was using didn't properly support either large LCDs or dual heads (though the latter may have been a configuration problem on my part). I bought an ATI card, and now have said large LCD as one of the two heads attached to the card. ATI, unlike NVidia, supports open source OS's properly, by releasing docs and/or driver source for their cards. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
