Hi all, I have had X working before (not on this machine) and I cannot see why I am failing to get it up and running now. Could someone comment on this please? -> I have a GeForce 2 MX and a (very old) Osborne monitor. A point: I've never understood the 'monitor selection' part of X setup. I have no idea which values/ranges should be used. I assume the second option is correct (even though my monitor can handle 1024x768). So, my first question: What monitor range should be selected for a 15" monitor capable of doing 1024x768 in 32 bit colour? Second question: When I attempt to start the X server (I'm using the graphic setup from the /stand/sysinstall), the monitor goes all black with pixels racing in two lines across the screen. I am using FreeBSD 4.0-Release, vanilla. Thanks if you can help Geoff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
