I have always found the following cgi script very useful when trying to configure my XFree86 installations: http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines Visit this page, and be prepared to be asked about your video adaptor's technical characteristics, as well as your monitor's range of horizontal & vertical refresh rates. You will find these easily in the manuals / documentation that comes with your hardware. The CGI script will do its magic and output the optimal ModeLine lines for your setup. Copy/paste those in your XF86Config and try again... BTW, the -newbies list is *not* the place to ask questions like these. You should ask at -questions instead ;-) - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
