In the previous message, he mentioned using an nVidia geForce4. I've had good experiences with a geForce2 in my FreeBSD 5-RELEASE box. nVidia has a driver you can download from their website for FreeBSD, and I haven't had any problems with it. -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ pgpCv1xc8j0gK.pgp Description: PGP signature

Generally not. To the extent that your configuration of video card and monitor can be treated as a generic (s)VGA display, FreeBSD will be plug-and-play for text mode (booting, console), and will also work genericly under X11. Getting 3D hardware support going for fast OpenGL stuff, and/or doing a multimonitor display mode are more complicated questions, but generally one can get such things working after more tweaking and time spent on your part. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

One thing I forgot to add to be previous e-mail about hardware compatibility was that I'm using the DVI port of my graphics card, connected to an LCD display, will that pose any problems?
