I'm considering buying a Graphics Ultra Pro or #9GXE for Xwindows,
in order to jump to resolutions above 1024x768.  

I haven't seen anything telling me I *can't* use a Local Bus Video
card with FreeBSD, but then again, I haven't seen anything that tells
me that I can.

I would like to hear from somebody who says, 'Oh yeah sure, I'm using
a GUP on FreeBSD 1.1 with XFree86 2.1.1 right now!'

Thanks!

Rick
