(Laptop woes) To: fbsd MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, I am very happy to say I got x installed on a Toshiba 2510 cds laptop with no hassles! In fact FreeBSD made it easy! Thanks all- excellect work. One problem though, The keymap stuff is opaque to me. I have no keypad and hence cannot ctrl-alt-+ or - to change to 800x600. I did hack the XF86Config file and remove the smaller resolutions from the "screens" sections and with FVWM2 and GNOME it worked! But then I installed KDE (which I like...looks nice and useful) but its back to the smaller default res again...I checked the XF86Config and it hasn't changed...HMMMM? I guess it would all be easier if I could do ctrl-alt-+ but HOW??? any ideas.. Regards Keith http://travel.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Travel - Got Itchy feet? Get inspired!
