Hello all, =20 First off I'm a total newbie to FreeBSD and the UNIX world. =20 I installed FreeBSD 7 about 1 wk ago and I'm about to give up at this = point as I'm having video problems but it seems like such a great OS I = want to fix it. =20 My video hardware: =20 Integrated onboard Intel video card, 965 chipset using the system memory =20 Here is the problem; =20 I have GNOME (version that comes with FreeBSD 7) for an interface and = initially when it loaded my mouse didn't work. I used the xorgconfig, = xorgcfg did not work. Once I ran the configuration utility and the new = xorg.conf file was created I rebooted and now I have a mouse but the = screen resolution is extremely low (everything is huge). Before I ran = the utility and loaded gnome the resolution was very decent (but I had = no mouse). I know they're probably unrelated. =20 Does anyone have any suggestions? =20 p.s. I discovered on X.org that the Intel 965 chipset is 'now' supported = in release X11R7.2. Would upgrading X be the smartest thing to do but = my question since I'm a total newbie is... how do I do that :) =20 Thanks for any advice =20 Ian
