I'm trying to run XFree86 4.1.0 on FreeBSD 4.4 with KDE 2.2.2. X seems to run correctly under user "root" (which I'm only using for configuration purposes), but for some reason, I can't get it to display the screen in the 1024x768. I used XFree86 -configure to setup my XF86Config file (Which worked like a charm, configuring my NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX/400 and Monitor settings to the perfect HSYNC and VSYNC settings), and went back in using vi to add DefaultDepth so that it would display in 24-bit color. I also tried adding only "1024x768" to Modes in the 24-bit Color Subsection under Display, but that didn't seem to help. I really wish they would implement the GUI based setup utility that was in XFree86 3.3.6, but they still haven't done that yet. Also, for some reason, when I try to start X under my unpriviliged user it fails to load saying something about "<name.domain.domain> 0 not in XAuthority function 'add' or 'list'". I've tried adding the correct settings to my .XAuthority file, but it still doesn't seem to want to load. I'm hopelessly confused about the screen resolution issue, and the other issue with unpriviliged users not being able to boot X is just really irritating too. Does anyone have any suggestions? I could really use the help. I've read just about all the useless documentation on this issue as I could find (on Xfree86.org and FreeBSD.org and Daemonnews.com's newbie help.)
