You didn't provide enough information about which version of FreeBSD you are using to give exact advice, but you will be using either XFree86 or Xorg's version of X11, which are documented here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html ...basicly run the -configure, and adjust the config file it produces from there to match your TFT's display resolution. -- -Chuck
