Hi,
I have a FreeBSD 2.1.5 system at home and I'm looking to upgrade my
graphics card from a Diamond stealth 64 to something that can handle
>2Mb of Video memory. I have Xfree86 3.2 and 3.2A and I'm looking at either the Matrox Millenium or the Diamond 3D card. Does anyone have any recommendations etc.?
While I'm at it, does anyone have any drivers for PC TV cards that work
under FreeBSD? I have an Aztech card that lets me watch the TV or video
from Windows, but the best I can get under FreeBSD is to get sound
output from the last channel I was watching when I went from DOS to
UNIX. So any pointers? Thanks in advance.
Peace ..,
\z\(gr> (colin@cs.city.ac.uk)
