Hello folks,

Well I see the latest XFree86 is out, but after reading the announcement,
I've still got a few questions.  My problem is that I'm not intimately
familiar with PC video hardware, so the listing of what chipsets are 
supported doesn't tell me too much (and if I look in _Computer Shopper_,
or some other mag, I'll be lucky if they mention the chipset at all).

Simple question:  Are there any boards (manufacturer and model please!)
that work with XFree86 on 386BSD that will give you a decent, non interlaced,
low flicker at 1024*1280 on a 17-21" monitor (models here would be nice too!)


				Thanks,
