Try lowering the resolution to see if it fixes things. I have found the following page invaluable when trying to configure my XFree86 modelines in /etc/X11/XF86Config: http://koala.ilog.fr/cgi-bin/nph-colas-modelines Try it out, and make your own custom modelines for X11, that do not push the adapter in frequencies it can't handle. Lowering the maximum refresh rates in that web page, will give you the Right(TM) modelines to put in XF86Config :) Giorgos Keramidas FreeBSD Documentation Project keramida@{freebsd.org,ceid.upatras.gr} http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
