If you can't find it, it's either not there or | you shouldn't be using a PC. 8) Yes, it's an AWARD-bios. Believe me: I've tried all tried all the options regarding the display-card before I posted here :-). The only thing I cand find in the "BIOS Feature Setup" which has anything to do with the video-card is 'Video ROM BIOS Shadow' (yep, I've tried switching it off) and 'PCI/VGA Palette Snoop' which doesn't agree with my monitor. The 'Standard CMOS Setup' screen has got a field called 'Video', but the field always comes up with 'EGA/VGA' after saving the settings to the bios. Guess I have to choose between running X or a console :-). -- Andreas Dobloug : email: andreasd@ifi.uio.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
