-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Granted, I am no expert on X, but it appears that that version of XF86 does not support your card. It is reverting to a generic card and I am sure it will only allow the one mode as a failsafe. Also, you are running a very old version of XF86 (note: it was compiled for FBSD 2.2.0) I believe 2.2.2R used XF86 3.3.? I can't remember what the minor was. To find out if your card is supported at all, I would go check www.xfree86.org and look at the readmes for Matrox chipsets, they are in the documentation section. It could be, if your card is new, that it was not supported at the time that release of xf86 came out and that you need to upgrade. The current version is 3.3.2 (I think.) Hope I was too incoherent there and that that is of some help. On Tue, 14 Apr 1998, Ken Seggerman wrote: > > Gentlemen: > > I have FreeBSD 2.2.2 running on my Gateway at home.
