FreeBSD 4.6 Video Settings for Xwindows
I have set-up FreeBSD on an HP Vectra Intel Based PC, now when I go to /stand/sysinstall and "do a post installation configuration" and try to set-up the XFree86 server under Video card the model of my card does not exist. My video card model is SiS 6205 but FreeBSD supports or listed only 5205. I pressume this is the main hurdle why my "startx" command to launch Xwindows is not succesful. How could I get the correct driver for my video Thanks.
