  • Correct VESA setting for Parhelia?

    A quickie...

    Anyone knows whats the correct XF86Config settings for the VESA driver? bsdgeek where are you!!! :_(_

    I can't use the 0.21 driver because I'm using FreeBSD at the moment.

    Thanks a lot.

    Wouldn't it just be easier to set it up with a cheap PCI card as your primary for BSD, so you get some hardware acceleration.

    I use 2mb Matrox Millenium's for those applications (bought 5 for $10)

      I was thinking about getting a PCI card that had 3d acceleration for playing some games in linux for the occasional times that I am in linux feeling the urge to waste time. Any suggestions?

        Well, the standard suggestions would be Radeon 7000, Radeon 7500, Matrox G450, Geforce2MX400, or Voodoo5 5500...

          any geforce would be a good bet, nvidia is really doing some good stuff for linux.

            So now my question would be, which is the best Geforce card that'll fit inside a PCI slot that won't kill my eyes when I try to use the desktop at 1600x1200? (or would I basically have to change XF86Config to use my Parhelia everytime that I log into linux to do 2D stuff?) Or probably I'll just get something like a Radeon 7500.
