Anyone got X running on a Dell OptiPlex GX110? I'm not sure whether FreeBSD 4.0R isn't recognising the video chip correctly, or I'm not guessing correctly. I've spent three solid work days trying every configuration I can imagine, first with XFree86 3.3.5 then 3.3.6, with various servers... VGA16, SVGA, S3, Mach??, ... and most give me 320x200 with 3/4 of the screen off-screen. Today again I threw caution to the wind and fluked 640x480 with 16 colours (not bits, colours) and it's hideous and slow. I really hope it's just some silly oversight. Sorry I'm not reporting very well. The machine's an hour away with no Internet and it can't be moved, but I could sit there and write stuff down and email it the next day if that's any use. Better, though, if someone out there happens to have clues for these machines already. Specs are at http://support.dell.com/docs/systems/opgx110/en/ug/index.htm while on bootup I see vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 Doesn't look good, huh? -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
