Hmmm, I don't even know where to begin with this. This isn't a FreeBSD question, but I figure I might find some help here ... I installed XFree86-4 from the ports, but I am having problems getting it configured properly for my laptop. I have an IBM Thinkpad 560E, which seems to have really weird synch rates. The machine has a Trident 9660 PCI card (well, it's on the PCI bus anyways) and a 12.1" LCD screen. The technical specs site on ibm.com doesn't give me anything helpful on what I should be using for ranges. From the XFree86-3.3.6 I have "HorizSync 25-79" and "VertRefresh 20-76" The default config file that is produced by "XFree86 -configure" just gives me a bunch of vertical lines. "xf86cfg" doesn't help either. From that I get a 640x480 screen with some weird green squares (trippy ANSI graphics or something :) ) and stuff. Is XFree86-4 generally harder to get working with LCDs/laptops? v3.3.6 was a pain from what I recall, and I ended up finding someone elses config that I found. I searched on google for some help with this, but havn't found much. One guy said he just gave up and went back to 3.3 :) Anyone good at this sort of thing? I assume I will need to paste /var/log/XFree86.0.log? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
