Here it is... I have Linux installed on my PIII with the above video and sound cards. They are working happily. I heard that freeBSD , overall is better than Linux , so I want to see if there is any truth to this. My problem are the following: 1.) The above video card (Viper V770)is not supported by the latest XFree86 at this time, that is why I have to download from nVidia their linux XFree86 driver. No use pointing me to XFree86 web page, i have been there and have done that and it did not have the answers.Has anyone of you got this video card chip running on your machine? The source is available for this driver, should I recompile it under freeBSD? 2.) The sound card (Audio Excel 16 compaitble ) chip I have is CMI8338. Again, I have downloaded their driver for Linux, the source is available, after compiling the module and installing, it worked, in Linux. Has anyone got this chip running on their freeBSD? If so could you please help. I guess what I am getting at is this, if a driver is working in Linux, would it also work after compiling with freeBSD? If not, then a porting excercise is necessary, is this correct? Better yet, if anyone out there has got these going on their freeBSD then I would be appreciative if you could point me in the directions you've taken. Gracias Lito Cruz ...ex nihilo, nihil fit... ------_=_NextPart_000_01BEDF9D.98B2A3BA Content-Type: application/ms-tnef Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 eJ8+IigXAQaQCAAEAAAAAAABAAEAAQeQBgAIAAAA5AQAAAAAAADoAAEIgAcAGAAAAElQTS5NaWNy b3NvZnQgTWFpbC5Ob3RlADEIAQSAAQAqAAAAdmlkZW8gblZpZGlhIFROVDIgYW5kIHNvdW5kIENN STgzMzggY2hpcHMAfA0BCYABACEAAAAwREQ2ODZDMjhBNEJEMzExQTE2RDAwMTA0QjE1Q0Y1RQAl BwEggAMADgAAAM8HCAAGAAkANAAlAAUASwEBBYADAA4AAADPBwgABgAJADEAIwAFAEYBAQ2ABAAC AAAAAgACAAEDkAYAdAkAACkAAAALAAIAAQAAAEAAOQAwYxwsnd++AR4AcAABAAAAKgAAAHZpZGVv IG5WaWRpYSBUTlQyIGFuZCBzb3VuZCBDTUk4MzM4IGNoaXBzAAAAAgFxAAEAAAAWAAAAAb7fnSwa wobWDkuKEdOhbQAQSxXPXgAAAgEJEAEAAACgBAAAnAQAAEEHAABMWkZ1jxFETAMACgByY3BnMTI1 0jIA+zM2AeggAqQD4wkCAGNoCsBzZXQwPiAHEwKDAFADVBC5V2nhAQAgTGF0C4ACgw5QYwLyELlU YWgDcQKAfbkKgXVjAFALAwtgbg4QCDAzMwumIEhlbB0JACwKogqECoBJIHeLAiAEgSAGkCB0aAQA XxkwBCAZcBNgC1FjE2B0sm8aIG9zBUAZc3EKUGUa4GkCICwgGLAQ4HazE2AJcGFkGeMQ0nQZEVxi dQVAGUEYsG0EAHX7GPIa4G8EcBnkCHAawRNg+m8ZVWwEAAVAC1AcgB+B5wDQGmAFMW15IOAawAkA 8mcIkHMuF/oXkAlwGTBfHaEiECOQF/wcI0wLgHX+eBkwAIABkBewCYAfoAOguSFhUEkmYBjAI0Bo GeP1AaBvHEF2E0EaoABwHKD2cwhgKAFjCxEiEBUgGgCnIXEjERjQcmsLgGccEfRwcAMQeSjgI80c gAsgGxlhE5AgA1AJ4EJTRLYgG+AnUXIlkRmyYhEgfx1CK+EDoCT0G+AoMBvxd/8AcBrxGqARECMh GVIjAwQg8wBwIXB0ch2QJtEaoBlyNSIrTSFwcANgAmBlbb8pQxnyAhAXsQPwFqA6F/o4MS4pKPIn KyiSICgGVgUgGRFWNzcwKfkZkW5vBUAeMCowCRElwT5iMLEaAQtgHUAa4VhG+QnRODYg4Br1E6AH gBvgcyvjGZF3aCFwHAUakWR9M+BuCQAckQNSN3A2oGT7BzAZ4mkFwCAwJRI5Rjvw1wUQLOEo4E4a oHUfgRrAPwuAE6Ep8AeAGoI5Rndl0mIaIGFnOnFpHBQtgN8J8C/1J/IcIzwAbjNCLAH/J/IjQT0Q HKA3gjuEJwIAgPNBABEALkggsDCCQ2IfsfFGUHUgZzeRGXM16RDQ/wUgHGAeQAMAKeEl8UbRBcC3 AMEZgENwPzUzKDFyGmH9MGJ2C3ALYDLRM5Et0hmR5z6kLqEVUHVsHKAYsAlw/QWgbSpBIyMeQywm ShAX+s4yNRUoODaAQXU9EBqg7EV4GmADIDE5oE1yC3A/AlETYDUgSFMcBRmRQ02USTgW4Dgo4EFn C3H/G+c8BiXBPVQ+pEujJPM6gvdKX0tiG+BhAYAZEU10KdL/GfIEYUzwQqQlVSnRQYEFQP8pkgmA QYEuJSjgRflHF0he+z1UTodJGVAuwQWgTPJG0tMghRoAbHAjvWcbcTsC+ywBGLBhMwBBYAJAKdI6 xP8ZckGBGVA9MFZFOvIppVxW/xvgGNBM8iNBB0AuwSmSWO//JqNfmjeBV0MDoD0wN/Ip0v5lUYFK oAQAMENDcBpgBBBdCsB5QYFkhFHxck1RdPVKEEItlHkRIGTkRkUdkf8wBBDgBCBHFAeQXYJezyxy /2qjGLJM8i2AIYEyoAWQBzD/E6BTYka0YIQ/k0ASXFEZ8l89EG3CG7EEIEbRJzuiYfVcAG4iK0ct AHPBEKAYCdcX+iTwGpFDMOB6PoAX9A8qmwr0AKAR8nMxNyD3I5FrkDdwaRmAF8F9dD6A9mYjQCOS aQLRDlB72Qu2CxgDFbEAgQADAP0/UgMAAAsABIAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAAOFAAAAAAAA AwAGgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAEIUAAAAAAAADAACACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAABS hQAAtw0AAB4AAYAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAFSFAAABAAAABAAAADguMAADAAOACCAGAAAA AADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAABhQAAAAAAAAsABYAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAAA6FAAAAAAAAAwAH gAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAEYUAAAAAAAADAAmACCAGAAAAAADAAAAAAAAARgAAAAAYhQAA AAAAAB4ACoAIIAYAAAAAAMAAAAAAAABGAAAAADaFAAABAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAeAAuACCAGAAAAAADA AAAAAAAARgAAAAA3hQAAAQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAHgAMgAggBgAAAAAAwAAAAAAAAEYAAAAAOIUAAAEA AAABAAAAAAAAAAMAJgAAAAAAAwA2AAAAAAAeADFAAQAAAA4AAABMQ1JVWkU4MTlDRjU3AAAAAwAa QAAAAAAeADBAAQAAAA4AAABMQ1JVWkU4MTlDRjU3AAAAAwAZQAAAAAADAIAQ/////wIB+T8BAAAA ZQAAAAAAAADcp0DIwEIQGrS5CAArL+GCAQAAAAYAAAAvTz1URUxTVFJBL09VPVFMRCBLSU5HU0ZP UkQtU01JVEgvQ049TVMgTUFJTCBSRUNJUElFTlRTL0NOPUxDUlVaRTgxOUNGNTcAAAAAHgD4PwEA AAAVAAAAQ3J1eiwgTGl0byBbSUJNIEdTQV0AAAAAHgA4QAEAAAAOAAAATENSVVpFODE5Q0Y1NwAA AAIB+z8BAAAAZQAAAAAAAADcp0DIwEIQGrS5CAArL+GCAQAAAAYAAAAvTz1URUxTVFJBL09VPVFM RCBLSU5HU0ZPUkQtU01JVEgvQ049TVMgTUFJTCBSRUNJUElFTlRTL0NOPUxDUlVaRTgxOUNGNTcA AAAAHgD6PwEAAAAVAAAAQ3J1eiwgTGl0byBbSUJNIEdTQV0AAAAAHgA5QAEAAAAOAAAATENSVVpF ODE5Q0Y1NwAAAEAABzAwGUl+mt++AUAACDC6o7KYnd++AR4APQABAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAeAB0OAQAA ACoAAAB2aWRlbyBuVmlkaWEgVE5UMiBhbmQgc291bmQgQ01JODMzOCBjaGlwcwAAAAsAKQAAAAAA CwAjAAAAAAADAAYQ9e+LzAMABxCoBAAAAwAQEAAAAAADABEQAwAAAB4ACBABAAAAZQAAAEhFTExP LElXT05ERVJJRlRISVNJU1RIRVBMQUNFVE9QT1NUVEhJU1FVRVNUSU9OLElIQVZFUkVBRFRIRUNI QVJURVJCVVRJRklNSVNVTkRFUlNUT09EVEhFUFVSUE9TRU9GVEgAAAAAEWE= ------_=_NextPart_000_01BEDF9D.98B2A3BA-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
