Hi, I have trouble during FreeBSD installation in two areas: 1. Installing X window: I reached upto the graphical configuration. I am unable to pick the proper graphic card/chip I have a Gateway 2000 CrystalScan monitor 17" 30-64 and 50-120 frequencies and STB Velocity and STB Virge/GX card I was able to install an start X as well (by typing startx) But I am not able to select ANY OTHER MODE except 320x200 I tried everything but it always starts in 320x200 mode (my monitor can take upto 1248x1024. When I run /stand/sysinstall and configure X thru the XF6Setup, it somehow knows the proper graphic mode to pick, since it sppears like a 800x600 mode 2. Installing/configuring for PPP protocol I am trying to dial out to my ISP via modem. when I type pppd it says the kernel does not support PPP I have installed comms/seyon. When asked during installation if I want PPP/SLIP I selected yes. It then asked if I wanted to configure for PPP. When I said yes, it went into ppp mode, which won't dial out. Please help me out on this, since this is very time critical to my project :((( Thanks you very very much Shashi Shift-F1, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ShashiKant Joshi shashi@shift-f1.com Shift-F1, Inc. 770-424-6958
