There isn't any special problem with AGP graphics cards and XFree86. You didn't say what graphics card you are having problems with, so there isn't much anybody can do to help. You have winmodems tagged correctly. As for the cable modem, as long as it connects to your computer via ethernet then FreeBSD should be very easy to configure. Probably has a dynamic IP address assigned via DHCP. In /etc/rc.conf you need a line for your ethernet interface (mine is fxp0) like this: ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP" But to impress the cable guy, don't reboot. As root type "dhclient fxp0" (use the correct interface for your system) and you should be online in seconds. If your cable system requires PPPoE then things are a bit harder. Around here the cable companies use cheapie RealTek ethernet cards. IMHO $40 to $50 for an Intel 10/100 card is a small price to pay for lack of hassels. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
