After many trials and tribulations I now come to you to ask for your advice. Finally I have FreeBSD running on my system, dual booting no less, with Windows ME (yuck). I plan on losing Windows here, but not until I have a gui for UNIX. I've got X86 4.1 intsalled and have had no luck getting the gui to run. I have set it up for i810 chipset and have also added the line 'Option "NoDDC"' to the config file, so my initial problems have been solved. (what a pain!) Now when X loads, my screen goes all funky w/ colors and pixels. It is a flatscreen. I have the manual for it and have tried it at all levels of resolution with all possible v and h refresh rates listed as compatible. No luck. Any ideas? I want to make the switch to UNIX, but this is really kicking my ass. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Patrick Cotner eternaluxe@chartermi.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
