That makes it extremely ugly. The currect device node in XF86Config for 256 AV probably look like: Device "NM256etc etc" If it is the drive and the XF86Config is generated by XFree86 -configure you may find the two commented options: option "LcdCentral" option "NoStretch" uncomment the two lines to make a good looking 640x480 display. about change resolution -- look up man XFree86, man xinit and man XF86Config, there are detailed information about it. If you have the right drive it shouldn't be a problem, just read on and follows instructions. Take care of your XFree86 version. You should use version 4, not version 3. version 3 DOES NOT support NeoMagic card. FreeBSD 4.5 by default install a version 3 of XFree86 for you. You can use /stand/sysinstall to add XF86 4.0 . By the way i'm a newbie. There can be mistakes. I'm just trying to make myself useful for even somebody.
