I have a Matrox G400 which I think should be close enough. First off, make sure you have the agp kernel module loaded. This kernel module is part of the base FreeBSD system. Secondly, you will need to have the drm-kmod port installed on your system. This will provide the mga kernel module and a startup script to load it at boot time. Assuming your XF86Config file is already set up then that should do it. -- Glenn Johnson glennpj@charter.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
