As root, try: X -configure X will try to automatically determine reasonable settings for your hardware and produce a barebones XF86Config in the /root directory (called XF86Config.new I believe). You'll have to rename it by dropping the.new extension and copying it to your /etc/X11 directory, AFTER testing it first of course...=20 If you still have problems you might want to repost but provide some more useful information like what version of FBSD you're running and/or perhaps the version of XFree86. Also you can check your /var/log directory for X-related errors. Posting this, if available, is probably very helpful Hope that helps, EB On Fri, 30 Apr 2004 15:59:29 +0200 (WesteuropXische Normalzeit) "Christopher Bahn" <bahn@wz-berlin.de> wrote: > Dear Geeks, >=20 >=20 >=20 > I wanted to config my x-server, but I have not any specification for > my video-Card and monitor (because my computer is very old and > second-hand).
