Ufff... well, last night, after about a week of xf86config hell, I got X to startup using the svga server, with XF68 3.3.6. It is currently running at a very low resolution with a virtual desktop...arggg. Brian, I too have been having the problems with X -configure or even X -probeonly. I tried, in vain, to get the proper sync rates for the Sony Vaio FX210's monitor from Sony support. I used the ones from the linux side. The reason, I found this out last night, that the linux config file does not work with the BSD side is that the linux side is using the XF86-fbdev server, which includes VESA and support for a large number of laptops. So my battle with X continues... Now to get decent resolution and no virtual desktop (should not be that dificult <-famous last words). I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone on this list, for all the help, guidance, config files ;), and advice.... Thanks!
