Missing all video drivers
If a fresh install is missing *all* the video drivers except vga, what went wrong? My box has a boatload of drivers; s3-virge, radeon, ati, etc. This new install (6.2 RELEASE) has *no* video drivers at all.

In all likelihood you choose only the generic vga option. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I suspect he's a bit confused about something, e.g. FreeBSD doesn't install video drivers (apart from the drm modules), they are part of X. Kris pgpy0i95PwNXL.pgp Description: PGP signature
