I am building a Freenas box from an older Intel Server and want to use the lowest power consumption graphics card possible.

The Matrox P690 which apparently draws around 10 watts looks ideal but I am concerned about compatibility with FreeNAS. I did a search but could not find any specific reference to this card and Freenas.

Does anyone know if this card will work? Any other suggestions on low power consumption graphic cards would also be appreciated. I only need this for installation and any other basic console access to the server.

BTW: My motherboard does not have onboard graphic.

Umm, FreeNAS only uses text mode, which is supported by every graphics card since the IBM PC's MDA (excluding maybe the CGA and the 3D-only cards of the 90s).
