But my question is a litle more stupid...: Does > this means that any geforce2 will work fine, or just for example, > nvidia's or asus's ??? The geforce 2 is just a graphics chipset. Many different vendors use this chipset in their graphic boards. Nvidia makes and licences this to other manufacturers like Herculese and Creative Labs. I have a herculese Geforce 2 MX and this works fine with XFree86 4.0.3 You won't get 3D stuff working though, because this part of the driver is a closed-source unit that nvidia have only released for linux. -- - Wayne Pascoe E-mail: wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk Phone : +44 (0) 20 7544 4668 Mobile: +44 (0) 788 431 1675 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
