Hello. Since, as I previously wrote, my Radeon cards are not working well with drm-kmod + radeonkms and I cannot seem to fix this, I'm evaluating what to do. I have another system with an i5-3470 (Ivy Bridge/HD Graphics 2500, isn't it?) that I could swap with the one I'm writing from. How is the status of its support? Is it supported by drm-kmod and the latest version of the graphic stack? Are there any known issues/limitation? Will it be supported for some time or is it already considered legacy? I have a Sandy Bridge Pentium laptop and it has always suffered from (not so) occasional screen tearing. Is this a known problem that would affect the i5 too? Will it support dual monitor? Out of curiosity, MB specs say: - 1 x HDMI® port with max. resolution up to 1920x1200 @60Hz - 1 x DVI-D port with max. resolution up to 1920x1200 @60Hz - 1 x VGA port with max. resolution up to 2048x1536 @75Hz I thought max resolution depended on the CPU, not the MB. Am I wrong? bye & Thanks av. P.S. Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I find it very hard to summarize all the (often contraddictory info) on FreeBSD+X11.
