What do you mean with detection of the card?

This is not a problem because PCI express devices appear as regular PCI devices. > I have 2 options, find another VGA card compatible with freebsd or > continue locking for help and maybe the results would not be good ? Buy an Nvidia card if you need 3D support necessarily, because Nvidia offers drivers for FreeBSD. ATI does not; they support Linux only. The third option would be to do it without 3D support. This should work always. If you have problems with configuring the X Window Server then /var/log/Xorg.0.log might be helpful. :-) > Another thing is that, if i compile the GENERIC kernel deleting > some fields but let the 3 options for Firewire support, make send me > errors and dosent finish...? > > [...] Most likely you deleted some options that are necessary for firewire support. I can't say more unless you tell the error message and your kernel configuration file. Regards Björn
