The good news: I've purchased an ATI Radeon 9500 and used an available
driver patch to give it the performance of the 9700 model, which costs
about twice as much. :)
The bad news: XFree86 4.2.0_1,1 (most recent version available with
FreeBSD, I believe) doesn't work with the newest Radeons.
The XFree86 CVS changelog shows 2D support (all I need ATM - willing to
wait for 3D) having been added just a few days ago.
My question: Is it reasonable to try to install XFree86 from CVS on
FreeBSD 4-STABLE, particularly for someone who lacks good wide-ranging Unix
knowledge? (I can follow simple directions - with my prior card I was
using the nVidia drivers without difficulty.) Has anyone out there done
this recently? Tips, "gotchas?"
Thanks,
Jud
