The Handbook has an up-to-date section on xorg configuration: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html > I have not created a /etx/X11/ config file yet.

You can use X -configure, but the only section that it does well is the Device section with all the commented options. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
