Ok, I'm starting to get the picture now, hehe! Sorry if i seem a little
dumb, but actually, I'm just real slow, not to mention , its all very
new to me (the freeBSD and the UNIX) .
I guess it would be senseless for me to look for the BSD 4.4 or the XF
4.1 at this time. I am going to take out my video card , look at the
chips, then look for its specs on the net. I saw some options on the
BSD Graphical installation , where you can specify a few things on the
video card.
What appears to be happening is, when any SVGA mode is selected, the
card does not understand and just defaults to the same "whatever it is"
low res - mean time XWindows thinks its all ok, and displays what it
believes to be correct. Result is my oversized graphics.
I'll continue posting whatever i can figure out from all this.
Meantime , the regular 16 color VGA mode works fine - at least i can
edit the config files, and do email in that mode.
