I tried both the changes you suggested, as well as adjusting only the relevant parts of your config and trying it.. same result in both cases. I even pulled a Red Hat 7.3 XFree86-4 config off of a working X station and adjusted paths, etc. Same stupid staticy crap with the white square ;) Anyway. I hate getting whooped by something this stupid, but I'm at wit's end. Any other suggestions? If not, I found another huddy OEM Gateway box with a different video card. I've got half a mind to try X out on it. -- Darren Spruell Sento IS Department darren_spruell@sento.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
