Using xf86config, I was unable to get the proper drivers selected for my cards. I had to use the auto-detect function of XFree86. Here's what I did. 1) Run XFree86 -configure. This should detect your card and select the proper drivers. It produces the file ~/XF86Config.new. 2) Run xf86config. This is for getting your screen modes and related info. It's output is /etc/X11/XF86Config. 3) Merge the two files selecting the appropriate entries from `/XF86Config.new and putting them in /etc/X11/XF86Config. This was the only way I was able to get things to work. -- Walter Brameld Microsoft: Where do you want to go today? Linux: Where do you want to go tomorrow? BSD: Are you guys coming, or what?
