Chipset 0x0521 is the G200, not the Millenium 2. I've got this card, and it works fine with XFree86 3.3.3 (using the SVGA server), but 3.3.2 doesn't have the driver. BTW, until you get the new X server you can run it at higher resolutions (in 4bpp) with the VGA16 server. -- csubl@csv.warwick.ac.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
