It's nice when it works, but there's a glitchy connector on the motherboard that's always coming loose and flaking out my video. I'm very tired of opening up the case and twiddling it multiple times until I get clear video again, so I'm looking for a replacement (I can tell the PC to ignore the built-in video). Unfortunately, all I have is ISA slots. Can anyone suggest a good ISA card for XFree86/FreeBSD 2.1 that will do at least 1024x768 and doesn't have any problem with system RAM > 16MB. I'm looking for specific vendors and model numbers. It's nice to know that anything with a "foo79" chip will work, but very few vendor ads seem to mention the chipset (half of them don't even mention the slot type..) Thanks! Ted Nolan
