Thanks Compare your XF86Config files. Since both systems use X, they should be the same (assuming the same version of X). Perhaps you are using 8-bit color mode somehow? Of course that doesn't explain the console . . . Can you go back & forth from Linux to FreeBSD or did you wipe Linux? It's not possible that you accidentally altered your monitor settings or something silly like that is it? > > _________________________________________________________________ > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Brian T.
