Alternatively you can look at: http://www.computerhope.com/help/vati.htm for a discription of what is an ATI card... Since I don't have ATI cards in general, although I believe my Mac G3 has some version of such, I don't know whether this page is really useful, but it looked like it could help you identify your card, or other cards which may have support. In my PC machines I have some old Trident cards, and the support for them has been there for a long time. In my case of getting X up on my Compaq Presario laptop, under NetBSD 1.5.2, earlier versions of Xserver crashed, or put the screen into wyrd melt mode. I now have a version 4.2.0 up, but it was not easy... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
