Modern Radeon (4xxx) is supported much better with the ati driver which is still getting some love. Since Radeon is open-source, you might expect good support, but it also depends on kernel mode setting and requires custom KMS DRI code in the kernel which I am not sure anyone is working on for FreeBSD. Maybe when the Intel KMS is completed... --=20 R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
