Check out (in linux it was /etc/X11/XF86Config) /usr/local/etc/X11/XF86Config (double-check that location), and see if there are several modes listed. I believe that the first mode listed is the default. To switch modes, to see if different modes are actually available, hold down CTRL + ALT + - (minus) or CTRL + ALT + + (plus). That's like changing the resolution through Windows' Display setting. I think that's the proper combination.. it's been a while since I've used X. -dt -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Brendan Kosowski Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 3:51 AM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: X-Windows/KDE setup question I have installed FreeBSD 4.3 ( X-User option ) and have also configured the X-Server and installed KDE sucessfully. When I startx, KDE comes up in a 640 x 480 pixel mode with very poor color depth. This was one of the modes supported by my card/x-server. However there were lots of other better modes available ( according to xf86config ). How do I tell the box that I want KDE to come up in 800 x 600 pixels with a depth of 64k colors ???
