ATI drivers

[Geak]

I haven't yet installed pc-bsd on my laptop, but I was wondering - do ati drivers come in the base install with the pcbsd or do I have to install them separatly? If so, my card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 and where could I download them? Searched google, didn't find anything fun and the ati website isn't very encouraging. *sigh* Thanks.

They come in the base install. You should be able to choose the driver during the installation process or after the installation process after rebooting. I don't remember exactly, but you'll see it. However, the AMD company doesn't make drivers for their ati cards for FreeBSD or any other BSD. Therefore, the drivers included in the base system might not be as good as nvidia drivers for nvidia cards for gaming. Anyway, I'm using ati card with PC-BSD and it works pretty well.
