The only other thing I'd suggest is playing with xvidtune. I had to do this to get my screen to center properly. The frustrating thing with xvidtune is that it doesn't automatically save the adjustments you make - you have to manually edit xorg.conf - but at least it makes it relatively easy to find the right settings. I will say that FreeBSD really could use a better configuration utility for X, though I realize that the developers have their hands full just trying to get 5.3 out the door. regards, Robert On Thu, 16 Sep 2004 21:12:48 -0400 John DeStefano wrote: > Thanks Robert... but I did try 'vesa' before posting (2nd & 3rd paras > from bottom of my post below).
