I'm having a little trouble getting X running properly. I have an older IBM Aptiva C6E, the kind that uses main memory for video RAM. I don't know if that's a problem or not. SuperProbe sees the video card OK, and I have the specs for the IBM G50 monitor dialed in. When I run startx I get a really shaky display in the middle of the monitor (looks like horizontal freqs are messed up, although I have the right ones in XF86Config). Interestingly enough, if I change the X link to point to the VGA16 server instead of SVGA and do nothing else, I get a decent display. In either case, I get three Xterm windows with frames, although the FreeBSD book says I should get one frameless window in the upper left hand corner. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Seems like I ought to be able to run the SVGA server - SuperProbe suggests it .... any particular things I can do or look for?
