nForce[34] chipsets?
Some time ago, there were complaints that nForce chipsets don't work very well on FreeBSD - specifically various components like built-in NIC, sound card, ACPI... Is this still true? What about nForce4 (PCI-Express) support?

The PCI-E graphics card works fine, but randomly the display in X.org goes wonky: all the windows just go white when they try to refresh. Swapping to a text console then back to X.org fixes the problem. Dunno if it's an issue with FreeBSD, the card, the nv driver, or X.org itself. - Damian ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My amd64 box, running 6.0-CURRENT, has had only very minor problems related to the nForce3 chipset, mainly some weirdness with ACPI. Other than that, the box works fine; I've experienced no majorly bizarre behavior with it yet. For what it's worth... :-) -- Conrad J.
