--0-401899658-1005532905=:91928 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Everyone, I am having a problem with my X-configuration also. I feel like I have tried everything with no luck. I know this isn't true, but am looking for a little advice. I have attached the /etc/X11/XF86Config file and here is my hardware and what I have tried so far: Video Card & Monitor: Visiontek 5564 (AGP) "Xtasy", Geforce 2 MX400, 64 MB CTX EX950F (if more is necessary, let me know) Short Version of what is wrong: I am running KDE 2.2 on XFree86 4.1.0, my desktop only fits on my screen in one of my three resolution settings (works on 1600x1200, not on 1024x768 or 1280x1024). The other two options seem to have a virtual paramter set on them...but I can not find anything like this in my config file (attached). Long version of what is wrong: I installed FreeBSD 4.4 from the cdrom I ordered. I read on the XFree86 site and in my graphics card's manual that it would not function with an XFree version less than 4.1.0 (whether this is true or not...I am not sure)...so I installed the 4.1.0 version from the XFree site. Everything went great. Then, I went through the XFree86 -configure setup (the text based one) following all the information from the XFree site...this also went fine. I then installed KDE 2.2, which installed smoothly and started up. That is where the problem is. My screen seems to have a "virtual" parameter set because my desktop is too big for my screen (it moves as I move my mouse to the borders...I am sure you know what it is). So, I looked in the X-config file, but there is no "virtual" parameter set. Then I thought maybe it was something with my monitor setup. So, I went through a few tutorials and the walkthrough in "The Complete FreeBSD" to set up my monitor. After doing so, nothing changed. Is there another file I need to modify? What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions are appreciated very much, as I have already lost too much sleep over something that should be much easier than I have made it.
