(than xf86config).. There, you can choose default resolutions & pixel depth... Also if you continue to have problems, try running SuperProbe and see what he has to say.. btw -- dont expect anything too fancy w/ the default X setup. its just the server, a few xterms, the xclock, and good old twm.

I have had a lot of experience with xf86config. In BSD, I cannot seem to pull up any X-server display better than 16 color generic 320x200. I am now using a Diamond Stealth 2 G460 with the Intel740 Controller. I have 8 megabytes of video ram. Is there any compatible configurations to @ least pull up the display in True color or @ least 256 color w\ 640x480 resolution? I've been @ it for hours looking for something to weRk. Your PAckage seems to have the most goodies I've ever seen in any distrubution yet.
