Mine was an ATI Rage 32MB AGP. Whenever I tried to use XFree 3.3.6, which is what you have if you didn't install X from the ports, I would get extraneous garbage on the screen. = X 4, every point version above it, fixed the problem. I run a Matrox G400 now. Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
