Getting hardware detection working well for every single chipset out there is pretty tough. The i810 is pretty common, but pretty wacky too it seems. This'll sound funny, but try knoppix. It has amazing hardware autodetection. Boot with it then save your Xfree config file (it's in the same place) to floppy or something. Copy that over to FreeBSD and it'll likely work once you've followed the other suggestions people have had. You may need to edit out some of the font dir's that aren't installed on your FreeBSD system, but that should be about it. get knoppix at: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html or google for knoppix mini iso, as there are some of those out there for a smaller download. Anyway that's how i finally got my Xfree config to work perfectly with my monitor/video card Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
