Thanks I appreciate it. With my machine I can get the 1280x800 mode using 915resolution hack and I do have a mouse if I drop the touchpad entirely (from loader.conf and xorg.conf) and use moused_enable="YES" in rc.conf. For whatever reason the synaptics stuff is a bit flaky on my machine as I have had a couple of forced reboots with hw.psm.synaptics_support=1. If all else fails I will try and do the new 7.2 Xorg build from scratch. -- Robin Becker
