The install does not depend upon the card to install. The problem is with 
the configuration.
The XFfree86 -configuration works fine if I take out the ATI card and reset 
the BIOS to seek the PCI slot first. Oddly, the bios cannot be changed if 
the ATI card is connected to the monitor - the change has to be made from 
the i810 card. I must say this is not a very sophisticated motherboard, at 
all. But it does the basic job that is demanded of it.

I have tried several different configurations and nothing seems to want to 
work.
I tried configuring the i810 card with a default depth of 8, with several 
different settings. The monitor can handle up to 1600-1200 resolution and 
does under Win2k. :))

What is strange is that the /stand/sysinstall graphic configuration does 
not function. The error message is "(WW) VGA: No matching Device section 
for instance (BusID PCI:1:4:0) found"

I do recall that, at some point, before fully installing XFree86 (the 
latest version), somehow I was able to run the graphic configuration and it 
did show the two cards, two monitors (only one installed) etc. but I did 
not quite understand the idea of the thing. I think I could have removed 
the unwanted card and monitor, but even at that time, it did not function 
right.

As I mentioned, I can set up the i810 card alone, but it does not want to 
change the screen reslution from 480. I read that this module agpgart.o is 
required for full use of the different screen resolutions, but I cannot 
find anything like that on the FreeBSD site or in my computer. It may be 
for Linux only... :))
