I have used Linux since the early days. I have had a lot of experience with xf86config. In BSD, I cannot seem to pull up any X-server display better than 16 color generic 320x200. I am now using a Diamond Stealth 2 G460 with the Intel740 Controller. I have 8 megabytes of video ram. Is there any compatible configurations to @ least pull up the display in True color or @ least 256 color w\ 640x480 resolution? I've been @ it for hours looking for something to weRk. Your PAckage seems to have the most goodies I've ever seen in any distrubution yet. I can't wait to see X - Full Blown. :-) > Thank you for your time . . . > kookoo@popmail.voicenet.com > John > > [ Attachment (text/x-html): 1901 bytes > Character set: iso-8859-1 > Encoded with "quoted-printable" ] >-- End of excerpt from John Turi What version of FreeBSD are you using? Have you tried setting-up X using XF86Setup? That generally gives the best results.
