Hi,
What video cards are known to work with X 4.2.1 under
FreeBSD/alpha? I've tried a S3 Trio64V+, a Matrox Mystique 1064SG and a
Cirrus Logic "Laguna" board, all to no avail. The Matrox and S3 cards
change to a video mode, display some strange graphics and then lock the
machine solid. After searching, I find messages about "noint10," but I
have not seen any changes adding that option to the video card "Device"
section in my /etc/X11/XF86Config.
If people send me the hardware platform, video card make/model,
the version of FreeBSD, the version of X and any special notes/changes
that had to be made to XF86Config or any other relevant info about working
cards I would be happy to maintain a webpage of the aforementioned data.


There are already pages around with this sort of data, albeit not FreeBSD specific.

The Hardware database at http://www.linuxalpha.org shows what cards work with what system (and SRM version), as does a page here http://moon.hanya-n.org/comp/alpha/hct/graphics.html

My Miata runs X fine with a Matrox Millenium

cheers,
Rob
