I have installed FreeBSD 4.6 on it, but I have troubles configuring X server. I have chosen NVidia 0172 as the card and IntelliMouse as the mouse (both shown in dmesg). But I think the biggest problem is the frequency. I can not use graphics configurator, it just go blank. I have to use CTRL+ALT+Backspace to bring back the text mode after each failure. What is the right monitor type and frequency should I use? Thanks! -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
