Thanks for your response and link. Apology for my ignorance about Xorg drivers vs kernel drivers -- You are saying that the cards listed on the nv(4) and radeon(4) pages do not necessarily correspond to what actually will work, but instead just correspond to code that has been written in X.org

Ok, thanks for the info. I may opt for the Radeon HD6xxx card as I would like to build with an AMD processor -- and I don't really need too much in the way of fancy graphics, just the ability to drive multiple monitors (which it looks like for example an HD6950 has) and watch youtube videos. --

Good GPU for OpenBSD build?

2018-01-28 Thread Currell Berry
Hello, I am considering building myself a new computer, and I would like to drive as many as four monitors with it. 3D performance doesn't matter much, I just would like to have a bunch of functioning screen real-estate. Do any of you all have any recommendations for video hardware that works

I infer from your response that soft updates possess: 1. increased overhead over default FFS settings. 2. increased implementation complexity over default FFS settings. Also, I infer that journaling and soft updates provide equivalent data safety guarantees in theory. Do they provide
