ARGH! Any help would be appreciated. Let us take a look at your /etc/X11/XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) file. Manually editing this file may help you out You also might want to perform a search on the web for Freebsd systems that offer the same PC specs as your computer. Just post a snippet of your XF86Config file...you should be able to get closer to the heart of the problem Cheers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
