hi, sorry if i did this whole thing wrong, this is my first time writing to a help thingy hehe... im VERY new to FreeBSD... so new i havent even installed it yet... but was reading some so i could learn some stuff new people have problems with before *i* start. i had a question about this: run xf86config as root (very carefully! a wrong answer can fry your monitor so run it again if you made a mistake) setting it up wrong can LITERALLY fry my monitor!? i mean like, to where it explodes, smokes, or stuff like that? things that i have to buy a new monitor for!? sorry to seem so shocked, i just, have never heard of software having the ability to kill someone's monitor (and im kinda worried now cause i have a expensive 17" heh) thanks alot kerby smith :) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kerby Smith kerby@bengali.npl.com I am Guilty of Murder...
