Hi, I'm going to be buying a new system (Athlon Thunderbird) to run FreeBSD (and Windows for gaming.) I have a couple of hardware questions. First, X. I'm trying to decide between the Voodoo5 and the GeForce 2. My concern is 2D quality and performance in X. Will both of these cards work? Neither? 3D X performance is meaningless to me. Also, I want very badly to use a Kensington Expert Mouse (a four button trackball) in X -- will I be able to use all four buttons? I've had problems in Linux before with the X server not distinguishing between various and sundry button events. SCSI. I assume that an Adaptec 39160 would work flawlessly -- yes? No? Issues? Finally, has anyone yet installed FreeBSD on a KT133 Athlon board before? If so, any recommendations? I'm looking at a FIC AZ11 currently. Thanks in advance, (jfb) -- My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball, but tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.
