On my laptop, which is equipped with an Intel integrated video, agp0: i use the following in /etc/rc.conf: allscreens_flags="MODE_356 green black" This gives the *maximal* resolution of the screen and an extremely nice display, with very fine fonts, better that what i have under Linux. This is one of the hardware things which work very well under FreeBSD. -- Michel TALON
