On FreeBSD, Intel video is the only one that supports KMS, the latest thing in xorg. Of course the Intel video is not the fastest, but that's due to the hardware. AMD/ATI Radeon HDs up to the 4000-series support acceleration with FreeBSD's version of xorg. 4650 and 4850 cards are suggested. The NVidia cards are also used by many, and reportedly their binary-only driver offers higher performance than other options. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

On FreeBSD, Intel video is the only one that supports KMS, the will the limitations help a beginner? The lack of console switching, you mean? For a desktop machine, probably not seriously. Certainly the support for new Intel video hardware would be an advantage. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Building a computer for FreeBSD
Is there a list of parts for building a personal computer or do you just read through the hardware list?

Usually everything works on standard consumer hardware...defer to big name where possible eg intel. The usual hotspots are video(use Nvidia for path of least resistance/most performance) and brand new hardware. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I use an AMD CPU in an older Asus motherboard with nVidea graphic solution without much problems. These things are on the lower side of the price spectrum.
