VIDEO CARD - Diamond FireGL 1000 Pro 8mb video card (4 real, 4 texture) accroding to Display Doc autodetect in Win95. I am trying to set up a multiuser programming enviornment and attempting to install freebsd. FreeBsd installs fine but when I attempt to configure X I answer all the question and save the cfg. But when I run startx all I get is a blank screen (my monitor shortly turns to powersave so no signal is apparently being sent.) I double checked the monitor stats so the refresh is set. The only thing I haven't done is set up the clock speed on the video card (as there is no information on the clock speed). Is this the problem? Help.. Ken Parsons (Hopefully to soon be a proud FreeBSD user.) P.S Are there FBSD bumperstickers or hats? I've seen t-shirts but no hats or bumper stickers. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
