Hi, I am looking to put together a (El Cheapo) second PC for home use running FreeBSD. I'm looking for some input from users who've tried running FreeBSD on a 5x85/K5 based machine, and running XF86 on the Matrox Mystique card. I'm looking to buy a 5x86-133 or a K5 based motherboard. I'd like to know of there are problems running FreeBSD on such boards. (Failing this, my next choice would be a P5 based motherboard (the ad I have doesn't specify the manufacturer of the motherboard, so I assume it'd be an Intel motherboard) with the Triton chipset. I presume FreeBSD would run cleanly on this). I was also looking to buy a Matrox Mystique card. Is this card supported by XF86 ? Are there any known problems with this card, as far as running X is concerned ? Could you please reply by e-mail to me at mohan@netapp.com ? thanks mohan
