Guys, Here's the story XFree-4 vs xorg. I have 4 platforms on a KVM so every machine uses the same tube. With XFree, my 3 FBSD systems had a flawless 1280x1024 display. With xorg, on my E-machines (ATI-Rage- 4M Video) the screen quivers. On my HP Kayak (Matrox II 8M) the display is steady but the tube is complaining "INVALID SYNC". The CRT is a high-end Hitachi. I got the exact specs for both the horiz and vert hertz ranges. Before, I was just close. Now everything is dead-on. Another couple things. With XFree, I set the DefaultDepth' to 8; now, on both computers it is maxed out at 16. If I do set the default depth to 8, xdm fails. (It "tries" to' initialize, then something clicks/resets, the screen flashes grey for an instant; repeats infinitely.) Can anyone clue me in on howto get back to XFree on both systems? I know about make.conf, but what should I pkg_delete? thanks for any help, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
