As a side tangent to the discussion that I started on -chat a few days back, dealing with more "high-end" video cards, and support...if anyone is looking for somethign that does 3D, here is a note from the nVidia developer who is working with the XFree86 team on drivers (note: the XFree86 FAQ explicitly states that 3D/fx drivers are not supported): ================================== IV: RIVA Issues The RIVA 128, RIVA 128ZX, and TNT are supported by the same X server. The acceleration isn't complete, but should be more that adequate. In fact, better than most othere cards. Both PCI and AGP versions of the RIVA cards are supported. =================================== I believe the Viper550 is a Riva* chipset? I'm using one of hte Creative Graphics Blaster cards myself, and it appears to work great. Have to figure out what, under FreeBSD, I can *do* with it, mind you... Marc G.
