Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I called my monitor vendor and received my hsync and vsync limits, and entered them when running xf86config, yet when I start the X server, I get 'signal out of range' errors. Is XF86 written that poorly? I can't seem to get a running X server no matter what configuration I use, whether defining my own, or using one of the pre-defined monitor types. I have my card and mouse configured correctly. The only X server I can get running won't allow me to change modes, and is stuck in a 640X480 looking window. I specified that I wanted to be allowed to change modes, although it won't let me, and it says I can run 800*600, 640*480 and 1024*768 at all color depths. Is there a simple solution to this problem? I've tried many different configurations. thank you banksw@sunyit.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
