I put this on chat becuase it's a bit off topic, and it has yet to be
answered on the xfree lists. I just installed fbsd 4.7 on a new box, at
the prompt to configure the x server said no, and finished the install.
I then ran XFree86 -configure and copied the XFree86Config to /etc/X11/.
When I start X it starts okay except it will only run in 4 bit mode.
Even when I try to force it to 16 bit at the startx prompt, it will
default to 4. I tried to comment out the 4bit subsection the XFree will
only complain that it's not there and fail to load. I know the video
card and monitor will do 16 bit and 1024x768, it was on the previous
install, and the box dual-boots win2000, which is using that config. I
noticed there are no lines for modes in the screens subsections, so I
added one to the 16bit subsection, it only breaks X again. I've included
the XFree86Config at the bottom of this message.
Hopefully someone will be able to help me here. :)
Regards, 
Chip W
