Okay, I'm back with another question (but let me begin by saying I love FreeBSD. It really is great. Thank you for building/supporting it.) I have one of those $300 Presario laptop's, and it's really wonderful -- it compares very well to laptops' selling for $2k to even $3k. But the video driver is an AMD 8200M nvidia device and I can't get X to configure it. And I have to run X. What do I do? I've tried: X -configure that fails. I notice that PC-BSD will configure it correctly but for other reasons I have to run native 7.2 FreeBSD -- PC-BSD won't do. I am not very X experienced (mostly use the ordinary screens,) so I will need pretty explicit assistance. Sorry. --jg
