This chip is not yet fully supported by Xorg (although support is coming along). You can use either the xf86-video-radeonhd or the xf86-video-ati drivers from the ports collection. It should work fine for 2D (radeonhd should have some 2D hardware accelleration), but not hardware accellerated 3D yet AFAIK. Among other things, the kernel component needed for that needs updating. It is being worked on in 8-CURRENT.

This is an interactive program to help you in building an xorg.conf file. It is important to have as much data as possible about your monitor (and graphics card) ready, since it apparently cannot communicate with the graphics card.

I assume that is because it doesn't have the exact driver for my video card. Try Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus and see if it switches to a higher resolution. I have an Intel motherboard, and when I looked it up on Intel's site, they didn't have any FreeBSD drivers for my motherboard, only RedHat and SuSE. Is there something I can do to got my resolution to increase? The driver is part of the X server, not part of the FreeBSD kernel (if you forget about 3D accelleration). I would generally advise to avoid binary only drivers, because if you upgrade your system and the driver stops working you're screwed. Instead buy from people who give out enough specs to let the Xorg hackers write open source drivers. Study your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and read the manual page: 'man xorg.conf'. If you want more specific advice, post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and the /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

The IBM aptiva machines used a modified ati chipset. Some models do not work properly with x11, os/2 warp (ironically), and other non-windows environments. There is a rage driver present with x11 that might work. On Mon, 2 Aug 2004, Bruce wrote: I have an old IBM Aptiva with a Rage Pro video card. What video driver do I use for this card?
