Here's some suggestions , don't choose ATI video cards. ( No UNIX
Drivers .. )
Well , i'm on ThinkPad R400 , ATI Mobile HD 3400 and an integrated Video
Card ,
FBSD doesn't boot when i switched to ATI Video card.
Is this only true of more recent ATI devices, or is this only affecting
laptops with ATI cards? I only ask because I'm running an ATI card for
my desktop with no problems. If this is true for more recent ATI cards
only, this puts a crimp in my plans for my "super"-computer.
Yeah , it's too new, the open-source driver will not support it.
Well , that's because my Thinkpad has two video card , one ATI , one
Intel integrated card.
The Default OS is Vista , it supports switch between these two without
changing BIOS settings.
But i kick windows off my laptop , i'm using Linux with ATI card someway ;-)
So in my BIOS , i disabled intel integrated video card , only use ATI.
Then FBSD hangs after boot menu , can't load kernel ;- (
Strongly recommand you try out NVIDIA , at least it has FreeBSD and
Solaris drivers
ATI has a bad support for Linux/UNIX ..
