Hi

I'm new to BSD but have been using Linux for 3 years or so. I'm having problems getting a Matrox Mystique (yes, it is old but I don't have money at moment) card to work correctly. I can get the card to work at "default resolution", which I assume the system sets to a standard VGA setting? I have tried all the options in the Wizard by the way, and it only works by clicking the "Skip" option. Resolution looks at best 800x600.

Any ideas where I can get a driver from, or a decent guide to how to setup a graphic card?

Thanks in advance
Richard

Xorg ships with the mga driver for Matrix G550 and below so see if you can use that. Otherwise you'll have to default to vesa.

Thanks Fatmice. I'll give it a go and see what happens.
