I've been looking about the BSD systems and FreeBSD in particular, and I feel ready to install it on my laptop (right now is running ArchLinux + AwesomeWM). As the title says, I had some problems with the graphic card, SIS 671. I'm a newbie in C, so to make the driver work was a little difficult. I'm using X.org 1.12, because there is no way to make it work with the 1.13 version.
I'm here expecting that FreeBSD has decent support for my card, I just want the 1280x800 resolution and use the compositing. This is what I get with my ArchLinux installation.
The most important thing here is that I want to use FreeBSD, the thing about "base system" and "ports" sounds pretty awesome to me.
