I tried looking through the man XFree86 and it says there are a > couple of config files but I can't find these either. I had the same problem. Eventually I found out about 'xf86cfg'. See if you can find that one. That comand will fire up an X session, in which you can configure X. However, it doesn't seem to fix everything, so I had to go in manually afterwards and add the 'DefaultDepth 16' and 'Modes 1024x768' (these values work for me) in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config. Hope this helps. -- Martin Karlsson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
