I needed a system and in an emergency and did not want to wait for shipping (silly me). The system is an Inspiron 1764. If anyone has an xorg.conf file for this system, it would be greatly appreciated. My system is FreeBSD 8.0. FreeBSD localhost 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #0: Fri Feb 5 16:58:16 EST 2010 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MNEME amd64 I have installed the current package for xorg-7.4_2.

I have tried the intel driver (it does not recognize the device), the i810 driver (not found). With the vesa driver I have tried supplying the 1024x768 and 1600x900 modes in all depths and supplying a range for hsync and vsync that includes the scanned values.
