FreeBSD 6.0 Stable with 3dfx voodoo3 [Others?]

[Everett Batey]

Michael et al,

I have had NO luck with FreeBSD since 4.7 getting Gnome or any GUI
to work.

Really would like to see the survey of what MOBO's and what OnBoard
Video's HAVE WORKED for OTHERS .. Survey.  This is getting as tough as
Solaris on Intel .. I have VIA KM3M w/ On Bd video chip .. Nightmares
