First of all, FreeBSD doesn't recognize my 3Com Etherlink III 3C589C. I tried installing the PAO, still no luck. Ideas? Also, I still haven't been able to get the PS/2 mouse driver up and running. I understand I'm supposed to remove another driver in the kernel config? It's hell getting X-windows running with my NeoMagic video. I've been able to get it running at 800x600 for the setup program only. Once I startx then it reverts to 640x480x16. Not only that but it is extremeley slow! I have a 133mhz pentium with 40mb RAM (Dell Latitude LM133ST). Running 2.1.7 with with the PAO I got last week. Isn't it possible to write a more generic display driver for XFree86 that interfaces with the video BIOS's VESA drivers? Thanks Trey
