Older X's didn't really care much and did whatever the config file said. I don't have any old X installs lying around to prove that one way or the other unfortunately. Have you tried using xrandr ( /usr/ports/x11/xrandr ) to see if you can reduce the resultion? It'll probably even work from .xinitrc or .xsession /usr/local/bin/xrandr -mode 800x600 -fb 1280x1024 I think should do what you want. (note that this would be much better over on freebsd-x11 - this is an X problem, not a multimedia problem - Reply-to set appropriately) Gary
