I had to do a search and find a page about linux installation. There's a usable /etc/XF86Config at http://www.zhlive.ch/XF86Config You have to modify it to use /dev/psm0 instead of /dev/mouse, or it flies off the right edge of the screen. Ignore that it's for 1400xsomething; it yields 11600x1200! I have no idea whether I'm in 16 or 32 bit (or even 24). But after years of 8 bit on small screens . . . I'm in heaven . . . And the middle (lower actually) button works! Thanks. I suppose now I should write up a quick page, but I"ll wait till we've mastered sound and the modem, I think. hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
