I brought the machine home to connect to a TV with PC input and I get Out of Range message. X does not start. This same machine has autologin setup so after I start it up and X fails to load, I switch terminals with CTRL + ALT + FX where X is 1, 2, ... to see if I can run # Xorg -configure and adjust so I can use the TV as a monitor, but it says that X is already running and I have to rm /tmp/X0-lock or similar file. I do that but I can't get to run Xorg -configure I pop in a linux live CD and I look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and I see this line [ 117.620] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Modeline "1366x768"x59.8 84.75 1366 1432 1568 1776 768 770 780 798 -hsync +vsync (47.7 kHz) I know FreeBSD still has nv and no nouveau(unless I compile from ports), is there a magical incantanation on how to troubleshoot this so I can use FreeBSD at home with this machine? Or do I switch to another monitor and be happy with it? Thanks, Antonio
