Hi, I have 2 Dell Optiplex GX150 desktops....specs are Pentium 3 @ 1Ghz , 512 MB RAM and Intel 815 Chipset with 20 GB HDD. I was running Red Hat Linux 7.1 on one of them and it runs XWindows without issues. I am running FreeBSD on the other box....although FreeBSD is a lot faster than Linux I have a major issue....I cannot get X Windows to work on the Free BSD box.... I have tried all the possible solutions that I could find on the web.... I upgraded the X Windows version, loaded the agpgart module and even tried the patch given on the Intel website.... however X windows refuses to work. I can get XF86 to work only in one mode generic SVGA....that wouldn't have been so bad but the problem is the screen resolution is limited to only 600 x 480 ...... that is too small a desktop for my requirements....any attempt to change the resolution causes the XF86 server to crash. I am at a loss how to fix this.....Any help will be highly appreciated.
