Hi,
I have FreeBSD 2.2.5 at my home PC. I have been trying to increase the
resolution of my screen from 640x480 to 800x600, but in vain. I tried
changing the /etc/XF86Config file to reflect the new resolution.
Somehow,
startx does not seem to pick the information from the file. My adapter
card
(S3 VIRGE) which has 4 MB of memory supports 800x600 resolution at
256 colors (My other partition in the disk which has Windows 95, can
boot
and come up with that resolution!).
I also tried changing through xvidtune and xf86setup utilities. The log
file
startx.log indicates that 640x480 is the only supplied parameter. What
is
the correct procedure to change the video mode?
