I hope thatīs it but I am not sure because of the Xfree86 man Drivers: Supported Hardware <cid:part1.05020704.04030400@bredband.net> The *radeon* driver supports PCI and AGP video cards based on the following ATI chips *R100* Radeon 7200 *RV100* Radeon 7000(VE), M6 *RV200* Radeon 7500, M7 *R200* Radeon 8500, 9100, FireGL 8800/8700 *RV250* Radeon 9000, M9 *R300* Radeon 9700PRO/9700/9500PRO/9500, FireGL X1/Z1 Unfortunately it doesnīt mention 9200........ Is there a list of cards that FreeBSD supports???? I canīt find it in the hardware support pages. Thanks again!!
