I have a Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop. I can get X to work but only at 8bit depth. I want to get it to 16 or 24, and I was told that enabling VESA in the kernel would work. I enabled VESA in the kernel: options VESA and recompiled it. But when I restarted I still had to same problem. I also added: allscreens_flags="-g 80x30 VESA_1024x768 in /etc/rc.conf I really don't know what else to do. I recently had RedHat on it and it worked fine...and X works fine except for the resolution. All help is appreciated. Kevin __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
