Subject:   XFree 86 under FreeBSD 2.2.2/PAO How to get into 256 Colour Mode?
Message-ID:  <813621B906ABD011884A00A0C90092B1030BBC@herculis.alphawest.com.au>
next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help 
I would appreciate any advice that I can get on my XF86Config file.
I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2/PAO on an old Toshiba T2400CS, which I am
presuming contains a ct65545 video chip.

I can get Xfree 86 running, but only using the VGA16 Xserver, I would
like to get the SVGA server running in 800x600 mode if possibel with at
least 256 colours.

I am a little new to Xfree 86, any advice would be appreciated, such as
the syntax of XF86Config and how to change modes.
