[-- Attachment #1 --]
I successfully installed FreeBSD 4.6 on a Sony PCG-FXA47 laptop. However,  I
was unable to find a monitor and video card setting that will allow me to
startx. Startx fails complaining of being unable to find a usable
configuration. After several days of trial and error, I was compelled to
give up and conclude that 4.6 has no monitor/video card settings compatible
with my laptop. Does anyone know of a work around that I use? Thanks.
