I am running FreeBSD 4.1 (KDE) on my GateWay Laptop. I had to manually enter the XF86Config code because when I go into /stand/sysinstall and create the file through a setup program, I still get the view of 640x480 (or lower), and i need 1024x768 (AT LEAST) and I got this XF86Config file off of the web (from sites that FreeBSD help has suggested) and get the error: 




"You must provide a "Screen" section in XF86Config fot at least one of the graphics drivers: svga

Fatal server error:
No configured graphics devices

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shut down)




Can you Please look at the config file below and tell me what I need to add, I am very new with UNIX. My XF86Config file is below, thank you very much, my last letter I sent to FreeBSD help was responded to by the next day with THREE letters, I was very suprised and appericiative, and think highly of your Tech. Support.
