put on your sleuthing hat, and then get a big Jeep and take yourself on a RTFM safari. k, first of all, SuperProbe is dead. start by following the configgeration instructions in <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/x-config.html>. second of all, read /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.ati my chipset is slightly different; i have an ati radeon mobility 7500 in my laptop. however, my device section may still be of use to you: Section "Device" Identifier "card_of_d00m" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI" BoardName "Radeon Mobility M7 LW" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Option "AGPMode" "4" Option "CrtScreen" "true" EndSection then, for even MORE help, search in google for: 1) XF86Config radeon 7500 2) XF86Config radeon 7500 freebsd all the answers you seek are out there. somewhere. -Adam nathan skains took 0.6K on Sat, Jun 15, 2002 at 03:42:50AM -0500 to say: > i am runnin a ati radeon 7500 card on an amd duron 1 gig, on freebsd 4.6-rc, > i have update my xserver via ports to the lastest server.
