Well it appears that you have several choices here. Choice #1: I have an AlphaStation 200 and I currently use an S3 virge in it with absolutely no difficulties. If you wish you can choose to purchase one of these cards for about $25. Choice #2: You can also run Linux since it supports the TGA card. Choice #3: You can write the driver. <sarcasm> To be honest, I agree with you. I think the FreeBSD Alpha team should get the TGA cards supported instead of working on useless stuff like SMP or OSF/1 compatability </sarcasm>. Seriously though, noone has had the time, or the inclination (given the fact that the average virge card with s3 server outperforms the TGA hands down) to bother supporting the card. It may come but few people see a reason for it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
