They gave me the following from the TransNeft trashcan, indeed: VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" BoardName "NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x]" Driver "nv" It says "AGP" but in reality it is PCI, perhaps some very rare species :) It has X-Video Extension version 2.2, my movies are back, hurrah! In the meanwhile, I'll wait for the development of the SandyBrdige Intel driver. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
