Try using the script at ... /stand/sysinstall Select Configure->XFree86 There is a graphical configuration tool which is pretty helpful. You can use this instead of doing it manually. If you have a somewhat working X configuration this will help you fix it up to get it to where you want it to be. It helps to know your monitors sync rates and your card type. Run through it until you get a working configuration that you like. Perhaps in the near future there will be a tool that is even easier to use, but this works with some mucking around.

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. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
