Mehta" To: questions@xfree86.org cc: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: where does EarlySC command fit in XF86Config file of FreeBSD? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, When I configured my XFree86 for my FreeBSD, and started it by startx, the screen seemed to be wrapped horizontally to left by 5-6 pixels and the extreme portion wrapped to extreme right portion. I used "vidtune" and found out that if I select "EarlySC" button and test it, the problem is solved, and when I selected "show" button, it showed me following lines... -------- "1024x768" 85.00 1024 1028 1148 1360 768 784 787 823 EarlySC "1024x768" 1 ------- The first line is there in my XF86Config file as modeline "1024x768" 85.00 1024 1028 1148 1360 768 784 787 823 But I need to update the file so that the second line ( EarlySC ... ) is included, but I don't know what prefix I should use ( like "modeline" in first line ) and also don't know where this line will go even with that prefix ... If anyone knows about this, please tell me. Thanks in advance for the help. Miten. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Miten N.
