This unit has installed a PCI XGA graphics adapter Adapter Type : IBM ThinkPad(Cyber9385/82) PCI Display Type : Laptop Display Panel (1024x768) When the system powers up, the OS identifies the graphics adapter as a generic VGA adapter, as it does not know how to drive it. Therefore the size of the screen is quite small. When I run Win95, it has the same problem until it loads the correct driver for the graphics adapter. The the screen in enlarged to the full size. How & Where can I get a driver for FreeBSD that will allow me to drive this graphics card. The only XGA drivers that come with the standard install are ISA based. Help Please....
