I'm new to freebsd (1 week), when i used to run linux, the xserver was ok, no barcodes problem. Now i tried freebsd, and got this problem, I reinstalled the whole thing because when it's the first time I install a new OS for me, I like to reinstall it after, and i got the same problem. I tried to play in windowmaker options, but it's kinda hard when you cant read... if I install GNOME, you think I'll have the same problem? Do you think that it's happening because we have low memory? I have 32mb but my video card is SiS (4mb) so i get 28mb...
