  Hello, my name is Erik and I have a great love for alternative OS's, and I 
just want to comment on FreeBSD 5.0 and how I like it so far. Ever since I got 
FreeBSD 4.4(sometime ago?!), I have had reccuring problems with some parts of 
the installation. As far as the main installation goes, that is working 
GREAT! But, with the KDE desktop and the X server, I cannot get a perfect 100% 
install of the x server. My current monitor is a Gateway 2000 Vivitron, I believe 
its a 17 inch monitor.. I inputed the correct Vertical and Horizontal 
frequencies as well as the correct video card I have, but for some reason X server 
does not provide a signature file for ATI RAGE FURY PRO 32 MB video card. What to 
do!??!? I donnot want to blow my monitor or card!! Also, I have a sound 
blaster 16 PCI card(PNP), and even 5.0 FreeBSD still reports it as UNKNOWN DEVICE.. 
What can I do to resolve these errors so that I can migrate 100% over to 
FreeBSD and abandon Winblowz by Microsoft??
