I'm a BSDI guy, now considering using FreeBSD for some projects because
of its wider support for modern hardware (e.g. high-performance SCSI
host adapters).

I've been having a hard time finding out a couple of things:

1. Could someone please check for me what support XFree86 has for the
   Diamond Viper Pro (4MB, VRAM) video card?

2. Could somebody confirm or deny that the BSDI compiles of Netscape 1.x
   run OK on FreeBSD?

Many Thanks,

Richard
