Well not new, but it's new to me. I rebuilt my system the other day and am now using a 1 meg Avance Logic 2302 card, instead of the built-in Acer video of unkonwn video memory that I was using before. This is a dual boot win95/freebsd 2.2.6 machine. In windows I'm getting 16 bit color and 800x600 resolution. In X11 I can't go more than 8bpp and 640x480 (that includes not being able to get either 16 bpp 640x480 OR 8bpp 800x600). Ideally it would be 16bpp 800x600 like I was getting when it was in the Acer. If the card just couldn't do it, I would understand. But obviously it can. My friend said that apparently the freebsd video driver wasn't up to running the card. I thought AL was a relatively big name, but he says he'd never heard of them. So what can/should I do about this? - Graey -------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.plaidranch.org/~slayer ICQ# 6247141 slayer@plaidranch.org www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/posting-rules/ www.newbiesguide.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
