Hardware questions Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Howdy, I've learned to hate my Compaq computer after years of impossibility of running XFree86 decently. My graphic card is unsupported and I don't want a commercial X. I don't want to replace my box, or my card but rather extend the available video modes. The board has a VESA connector plug, I wonder if anyone knows if I can add some special card that let's me run X, but can live with my qvision card (I have qvision drivers for win3.1 and I don't want to change them). I also have an internal tape backup unit (wt0, 250M) that I want to convert to external. It's a SCSI tape drive but it comes with an adapter for ISA boards that I use. I asked Wangtek and they say it may be done but they don't sell boxes. Anyone knows of available kits? TIA, Pedro.
