A couple of questions:

Not having enough UNIX computers at work, I have installed FreeBSD at home
(Pentium 100, 16Mb EDO RAM, Number Nine 2Mb VRAM, 4x IDE CD-ROM, etc.).
I copied the required stuff from my IDE CDROM to the DOS partition and
installed from there (the boot disk does not recognize my CD-ROM :( ).

My question is related to XFree86. I have not been able to get X running in a
satisfactory manner on my 'Number Nine FX9 Motion 771' 2Mb card. All I can do
is run it in VGA16 mode. A power up, I see this board has a 968 chip, and I
have tried several of the 968 based entries from xf86config, but none of them
seem to work.

Suggestions? Does anybody out there has the exactly same board?

And while I am at it, where can I find a mwm and Motif libraries for XFree86?
And a Netscape or compatible browser?

Thank you,
