Now, I installed FreeBSD and included X and Gnome 2 environment. I selected the lowest resolution (VGA) to see if it would work (I have had trouble getting X to work with some flavors of Linux on this machine). When I run startx, I get garbage on the screen and the computer locks up. I have a Dell Inspiron 8100. It uses the nvida GeForce2 GO. In windows I use 1600x1200 and 32-bit colcor. What other information do you all need? Regards, Scott
