There's a dmesg and pciconf at http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/sipb.mit.edu/user/kaduk/freebsd/periphrasis/ The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L, so Intel P35 northbridge and Intel ICH9 southbridge; the actual video card came with very little documentation, but purpots to be a Radeon B2 256 HD2400PRO PCIe by VisionTek. The HD2400Pro part certainly seems accurate, at least. When setting up radeonhd for the card, I did need to toggle the hotplug detection bit in xorg.conf to get dual-monitor support; I haven't updated xorg since I filed that report, so I don't know if's been fixed already. -Ben Kaduk _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
