In my XF86Config for 4.1.0 XFree86 and using NetBSD 1.5.2 there is a=20 sequence of lines starting with: Section "InputDevice" This is were the keyboard characteristics are indicated. What I find=20 there looks pretty generic, even though I'm using a ps2 external keyboard on my laptop (some of the integral keyboard keys no longer work...) Further on: another Section "ImputDevice" gives the mouse data. In my NetBSD case, I needed to specify the '/dev/wsmouse' device rather than '/dev/mouse' to get my Presario=20 touch pad to work as 'the mouse'. I have not tried an external mouse as I'm already using the PS2 port, and well, haven't had the guts to try a USB=20= mouse... > > (3) What lines must be *added* to the default XF86Config.new file to=20= > use a > DefaultDepth of 16 (or 24) and a DefaultResolution of 800x600, so that > XFree86 will work with my ATI All-in-Wonder 128 16mb AGP video card = and > Dell M781p monitor (supposed ranges are hscan 30-85kHz, vscan = 50-160kHz, > and optimal preset is apparently "1024x768 @ 85Hz")?? I had to re-arrange the list of resolutions from the default of=20 640x480... to be 1024x768 during the configuration process. You could manually do this which are further down in the config file. Don't know if that helps, but, yes, XFree86 is a pain to 'install and=20 configure'...
