This gfx "card" is automaticly disabled when an other gfx card is attached to the PCI bus. Since my "old" gfx card is better version of the Mach 64 (with VRAM) I would rather use this one. When I boot Windows'95 it detects both cards, and says that the one on the motherboard is disabled by hardware. It works just great. FreeBSD v2.2 detects vga0 (pci0:8) (the one on the motherboard) and vga1 (pci0:13), but doesn't understand that vga0 is disabled and therefore stops right after probing hardware. (?) I would really like to be able to use FreeBSD again.. Is there a patch to solve this problem? -- Christian Sandberg sandbec@iu.hioslo.no sandbec@follonett.no http://www.iu.hioslo.no/~sandbec 4792433000@SMS.NetCS.NET Student at Oslo College, School of Engineering, Computer technics
