Video card support
I just got a new desktop machine, and I'm reviewing the supported hardware list on freebsd.org. I don't see anything at all about video cards. Are they listed in some other place? I found two messages in the hardware mailing list that mention the ati radeon x300 card, but the only thing I could glean from it is that ati support might not be all that great. Is that true? Will fbsd support dual monitors with this card?

You want to look at www.X.org or www.XFree86.org for X support. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

video card support in BSD?
Hello all, So i have this old vid card and I'm trying to find out if it's supported in FreeBSD. The trouble is that all of the hardware docs i've looked at...have no section for video adapters. Is there a list somewhere of supported vid cards? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would add that for any particular installation of XFree86 on FreeBSD one can find hardware compatibility documentation in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc (assuming of course that the doc files were installed). Some of the man pages in /usr/X11R6/man/man4 may also be useful. I have found that while the documentation in a given installation of XFree86 may be more specific to that installation, the documentation on www.xfree86.org is sometimes more complete. The most recent release of XFree86, 4.3.0, is more or less what all recent FreeBSD releases are using.
