"I made a try using xorgconf utility, to make a xorg.conf "from scratch", and from within FreeBSD. But still the screen section seems to be totally ignored - no chance to switch to other resolution, and no chance to choose the default resolution. Perhaps someone is aware of any fixes existing for the problem? Googling around revealed just some more similar complaints - but not any cure. -- pozdrawiam / regards Zbigniew Baniewski" _______________________________________________ One thing you could check on is how many xorg.conf files you have on the system. try deleting all the xorg.conf file in /root and /etc/X11 run Xorg -configure which if it behaves produces a file xorg.conf.new then copy xorg.conf.new to xorg.conf then start x, if you lucky it might start section 5.4.2 of the handbook covers it http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-config.html hth Richard
