hey

I'm having major problems with configuring X for FreeBSD. First of all =
the colours is at like 8bpps or something and the desktop is larger than =
my actual 15" screen. When i tried to edit the XF86Config file manually =
and removed the 8bpps, I got an error messaging saying:

"No "Display" subsection for default depth 8"

My video card is a SiS 620 which is supported by FreeBSD v.4.0
Hope you can help.

- FP.
