I'm just saying you may want to directly contact ASPEED because they officially support FreeBSD, it seems. (Hint: I saw support e-mail address in one of these downloadable files on the support site.) For example, they even have video BIOS flasher for FreeBSD. > Does this problem come from only an unrecognized card or the > problem is deeper and more complicated ? I believe it's a video BIOS issue. Probably you need to flash it with the latest video BIOS first. If it does not work, please let them know about it.
