Hello, I have a Sony VAIO PCG-FX103 on which I was meaning to install FreeBSD, but it didn't work out the way I wanted. There's been nothing but trouble. First of all, when I installed freebsd 4.3-RELEASE I used cvsup to update the src and ports to 4.4-RELEASE but when I reboot, the boot hangs at "mounting root from ...". Then I downloaded the CD and burned the image.. same thing: boot hangs. That's the first problem I encountered. Second problem is the resolution of the screen. It's 640x480 now, but I just wonder if there's a way to get it to run in 1024x768. mind you, I haven't installed X yet, so console only. Then there's apm, which isn't supported. I read something about apci, but couldn't find anything about how to configure/install it. Finally there's the configuration of X windows. The video-card installed in my laptop is a Intel i815 card. Version of X is 4.x I recompiled the kernel with agpgart and it recognizes the card (I can see from dmesg) but whatever I do, it doesn't run in 1024x768. Is there anyone who has experience setting up X on this card and who's willing to share that knowledge with me? Please respond if you know any of the solutions to these problems. Thanks in advance, Arthur* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
