[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I just got FreeBSD today and spent about 6 hours trying to get it to show me some kind of GUI desktop. The command prompt is working fine but does not do me anygood since I do not know any commands pass inputing my password. I am using a Voodoo 5 5500 card with a standard Super VGA monitor 1024x768. The best I can get is showing Half the screen, its like the screen would need 4 17" monitors to see the whole thing. I figure this is probably 640x480 mode. When I go back in and set it to 1024x768 it will not even start. How do I configure this. Linux and windows runs great on this computer, I'm just surprised that this 4.5 release does not. Thaanks for your help.
