>Description:
I am trying to get BSD installled on this machine as described above. 
The actual FreeBSD distribution installs OK, but it seems that no matter what
I do to XFree86, I cannot get the video to work. 
There seems to be lots of support for this using Linux, but I have found
nothing for BSD - Obviously I don't want to have to use linux, so I was wondering
if you could give me some advice??
If this is the WRONG place to ask for this, apologies for wasting your time 
and maybe you could point me in the right direction??

Thanks
Jason Farenden

The PR submission mechanism is for reporting bugs.  If you're having 
problems, you could try posting your question to the 
freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list and hopefully someone 
there will be able to help you.  You could also try looking through 
the mailing list archives to see if anyone else has been in this 
situation before.  Good luck!
