Kris, from looking (via google) at all of the FreeBSD mail AND all of
the FreeBSD manuals, taking about an hour at it, there is extremely
little mention of the pgx64. The only direct mention I fouond waws
where it was admitted that all of the Blade100's come built-in with
them. I can't find if it's supported by ANY pf the addmittedly pretty
broad array of video devices, I was looking for the pgx64 name or ATI XL
Rage.
If anyone knows more, it'd be very appreciated. I have to think that
this card is probably supported somehow, at least I would HATE to have
to buy another really expensive card (that's worth $15, maybe) to get my
video. I have a 20" LCD screen to drive, 1200X1600.
This feels like a missing item in the docs, at least I really, really
hope so.
