The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda

2003-10-03 Thread Greg Lehey

Juan, it recently became possible to use the 340M in its native mode; simply cvsup to the latest ports tree, and install the XFree86-4-Server-snap port; the ati driver in it supports the 340M in my laptop just fine. (I have not tested any 3d or tv out functions, however.) Mike Silby Silbersack
