Everything is working, but I can't get a decent refresh rate on my monitor. the X server tells me: (**) NEOMAGIC(0): Mode "1024x768": 85.0 MHz, 62.5 kHz, 75.9 Hz but my monitor says: fH = 48.5 kHz fV = 60.2 Hz and given the amount of flicker, I believe the monitor :-) I have tried using the Fn+F7 to switch to CRT only, but when I do that, it gets worse. The monitor says: fH = 48.0 kHz fV = 58.3 Hz but then if I close the lid, it goes back to fH = 48.5 kHz fV = 60.2 Hz I have no idea what this crazy notebook is doing :-} I have tried running X with only Option "extern_disp" and no "intern_disp", this caused the LCD and the CRT to go blank and FreeBSD to freeze! So I don't do that anymore :-) I'm running 4.1.1-Stable, last cvsuped yesterday. Any suggestions? I'm all out of ideas... -stacy -- Nothing spoils fun like finding out it builds character. - Calvin Stacy Millions stacy@millions.ca Millions Consulting Limited To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
