I forgot to tell you what happened with this. Frankly, while I was trying it last night, I could not get ctrl-alt-kaypad+ to do anything but drop me out of X. I tried again this morning. I was able to toggle between modes, but had no success until I switched Monitor to Super VGA 1024x768@87Hz, 800x600@56Hz. This did the trick and I now have a fully functional X display.

Just out of interest, are you really running FreeBSD > on this machine? What does Rob think of that? Yes, I am running v2.2.5 which I ordered and received, with subsription. I also ordered your book, which has been very informative and helpful through the other operations I have undertaken.. Rob does not know directly. However, my immediate manager does. On the company side, I am helping to keep up with various improvements to FreeBSD to assist sales. They are asked about different ports, etc. on a regular basis and need technical feedback on them and recommendations which they can make to the customer as well as to engineering. On a personal side, I find many of the ported tools useful desktop and sys/net analysis tools. These, I will by and by recommend for inclusion in our contributed tree. I hope that answers your questions. I must say again how very grateful I am for the assistance in resolving this problem. I will endeavor to be a low impact user on the list :-) -Jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
