Your card's working fine. Looks like you're having problems with the default windowmanager that comes up: twm. Took me some time to work out how to resize the windows when I first saw it as well - check out twm(1). Best to replace it asap.

Copy /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc, and modify the latter to suit your new window manger. -- Jonathan Chen | To do is to be -- Nietzsche | To be is to do -- Sartre | Scooby do be do -- Scooby To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
