X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4 Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1993 03:32:55 GMT Lines: 13 I'm looking at getting 386BSD up on my PC. I have a Hercules Graphics Station Card (GB1024+2). This is the version with 1MB VRAM and 2MB DRAM for TI34010 code download. The card has a standard VGA chip on it as well. Is there a driver for 386BSD (actually Xfree I suppose) to utilize any of the enhanced feature possible in the TIGA structure? I.E. how will this card work with 386BSD under X at 1024x768? I know it's not a screamer overall, but is it a reasonable card in this environment and how reliable is the driver (if there is one)? Reply by email or point me to a FAQ if this one is covered somewhere. Dan Fishman (dfishman@csn.org) (W) (303) 469-6469 (Fax) (303) 465-4396
