Hi Sasha,
I had this problem for a while till I looked up my 'modeline' code in
the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/VideoModes.doc.
This is cryptically discussed in "The Complete FreeBSD Guide", page
131.
What I did was find my monitor, cut the suggested 'modelines' and
paste them into the XF86Config file.
Things got better fast then.
Good luck
dg

Actually my problem is with x in general. I can run xf86setup and
have a good setup it will start the server and everything...When I try to
start xdm or xinit I get 3 flashes of the screen and then the xdm or xinit
Zombies, or hangs.
No errors that I can find are generated except with xinit sometimes it
will come up and say something to the effect of 'no modes could be found"
when I have done a mode select in Xf86setup, and have it work correctly.
Any clues?
Sasha
