[-- Attachment #1 --] To whoever can help I have version 4.0-Stable of FreeBSD and apon installing it onto my 500 Celeron (Compaq Presario) I encountered a problem when configuring X through Xfree86 (I think its called) My Display card is the following: Intel 810 Chipset Graphics Driver (DC100) or that is at least what Winblows is telling me at the moment and it seems to be runing fine through winblows. When I got into Xfree86 the resolution was fine and I continued to setup my Card by selecting from the list the Intel ??? Generic since I noticed that my videocard wasn't in the list, I then went to setup my screen and selected one of the 1024 x 768 screens (the one matching my screen) I then went to select a resolution of 1024 x 768, when my X server tried to restart it went into the resolution of 320 x 400, I then tried to use the resolution of 800 x 600 and still it went back into 320 x 400. Do you perhaps know what I'm doing wrong? This is my first time trying to install FreeBSD, I have managed to install quite a few distrobutions of Linux onto my machine, i.e Linux Mandrake, Corel (yuck) and my GUI / X would run fine. I know that its me not understanding this whole Xfree86 setup, so could you please tell me where Im going wrong? Thanks, Yours Faithfully Chris Grant (admin@nemasis.org) [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To whoever can help</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have version 4.0-Stable of FreeBSD and apon installing it onto my 500 Celeron (Compaq Presario) I encountered a problem</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>when configuring X through Xfree86 (I think its called) My Display card is the following: Intel 810 Chipset Graphics Driver (DC100)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or that is at least what Winblows is telling me at the moment and it seems to be runing fine through winblows.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I got into Xfree86 the resolution was fine and I continued to setup my Card by selecting from the list the Intel ???
