I'm trying to figure out if I can get X running on my system and could use some help. I have an ATI All-in-Wonder 128, AGP card with 32MB. I also recently purchased a Sony SDM-X72 TFT LCD Color Monitor with specs of: Horizontol Freq: 28-92kHz Vertical Freq:56-85Hz Max Resolution: 1280x1024 I tried configuring XFree86 through /stand/sysinstall. Found suggestions in the Usenet Newsgroups to set the card as ATI Rage 128 (generic). I tried that setting along with the various default screen types (VGA, Super VGa, Extended Super VGA, etc.). When I try startx, the screen displays the message that I'm out of scan range and displays frequencies 35.5Khz-87Hz. Does anyone know if I can get X Windows running with my current hardware? Any suggestions on setup? I guess I should also mention, I installed FreeBSD from a CD with release version 4.3. Wanted to get some idea of how it would work with my current system, before I go out and buy CDs for version 4.9. Thanks.
