Hey all,
Ok let first state that i am a total newbie to fbsd!!! and also im lovin it except for X.... I no i gotta be doing something wrong someware but cant figure it out.... I'm running 4.4R and vs.3.3.6 of X (Gnome with Enlightment}i got fbsd runnin on a amd 700 with 128megs of ram my vid card is a Nivida riva TNT2 with 32megs of ram.. My monitor is a gateway ev 500 horizontal sync range is 31-69 kHz vetical is 50-100....
i can get x to start but the display is just nasty its either 1 all grey and no pics or the display pixels are so huge and unclear you cant see anything at all...
for the vid card selection i tried the nvidia riva tnt2(generic) also tried the Riva tnt 2 but either way cant get it to work... I did have it working the first time i ran fbsd but then i messed something up severly and i ended up formating and starting all over again (what can i say Damn Newbies) and yes i have read over the handbook and even the complete fbsd book... but no matter what i cant get it to work.. 1 more thing the one time i did get X to work... when runnin xf86config my vid card was # 362 which now is 466 how that happen i will never no but thats one of those lovely things about computers i guess..
someone please help me!!!!!!!!!
if you need more info just let me no!!!!! like i said before im just a newbie trying to escape from microsoft :)
