I have tried multiple this out of The Complete FreeBSD book but the display is still bad. The problems are as follows: 1) Not all of the words or writings in a windows is displayed 2) The screen does not refresh 3) It keeps defaulting to 8 bpp at 640x480 even though when I start the X windows I type in "startx -bpp 24 -bestRefresh 4) My video card keeps defaulting to 1 MB of memory even though I have specified that it has 8 MB. I have gone through the X86Config and specified my Monitors Horizontal and Vertical refresh rates (30-70 and 50-160) and have selected my video card and entered all the data for it (Diamond SpeedStar A50 8MB with the SiS63xx RamDac.) Could you please help me with these problems please. I would like that thank you in advance for all your help.
