I have installed Redhat 9 and Mandrake 9.2, and both work fine with graphics. What is the major malfunction with BSD. It is definately installed, because I can get it up without the x-server, however, if I type 'startx' it prints out the fatal error part, and says that monitor:0 is bad, or something like that. I have to linux tripple booted on my laptop, now, however, I put BSD on there first, and encountered the problem with 3.3 and now 4.3 x-server versions... If you are unfamiliar with this brand, the 'S' models are the medium mobility with the optional AMD-XP-M processors, labeled with 2000 as the number index. The graphics card is the ATI Radeon IGP 320M. Under linux, the VESA generic works fine, however, on FBSD-5.1, there is no such luck. I am not sure if the error is from the monitor setting, or the VESA setting. I really want to be able to use FBSD-5.1 on my laptop, so I really would like to discuss this further. My AOL/MSN messenger name(s) is(are) marteswigg. Can anyone assist me in this delemma?
