Hi all, First off I have 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 16mb video ram Viewsonic monitor (E65?) capable of 30-70khz, 50-120hz Being new to freeBSD, I have trouble configuring X. so I followed the instructions in the book (The complete Freebsd 3rd Ed). I tried using xf86config and XF86Setup. Both produce similar results. ie when I startx it will start up and then shut down. Both times I tried ranges from 640x480 at 8bpp to 1024x768 at 24bpp. Each time with the same result. I have checked all my sync rates and they all fall in the accepted range. The only time I can get the X server to run is using standard vga with 256 colours, 640x480, which is a bit disappointing, not to mention quite useless as a quarter of the windows are cut off. FreeBSD is able to detect the Voodoo 3 3000 as Voodoo 3 (Generic). Can anyone tell me whether it is my video card or monitor? thx4reading! c To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
