Dear Sir
I have installed FreeBSD 4.2 by CD. I was trying to configure XF86 Server GUI. I log in as root and type the following command /stand/sysinstall. The system then does a device probe and then comes to a window where I select the option of post installation. I select the area where I can configure the XF86 Server GUI. I go through the configuration process and FreeBSD then trys to bring up the Server GUI. I always get the error message "Unable to start X Server". I have tried several other configurations and the same error message continues to come up.
At the command prompt I have tried to start xinit and startx and I get the following error:
Using X Free 86 ATI driver version 4.6
ATI 3D Rage Pro Graphics controller detcted

Fatal Server error:
No valid modes found
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit Kill or server shut down)

The machine that I am trying to configure this on is a Dell Optiplex GX1(Pentium II 400 MHz processor), the monitor is a 15" monitor. I believe the problem might be with the monitor settings. At this point any help would be appreciated.
