I have 8 Megs of RAM and I have set the DefaultDepth to 16 already. -----Original Message----- From: Warren Block [mailto:wblock@wonkity.com] Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 6:10 PM To: Tom Connolly Cc: FreeBSD_Questions Subject: Re: Resolution problems On Mon, 20 Sep 2004, Tom Connolly wrote: > I am currently running 4.10 with the latest version of xfree86.

How much video RAM does it have? If it's only 2M, there's not enough to run 1280x1024 at the default 24-bit depth. If you have 4M, ignore this. If not, try explicitly setting DefaultDepth 16 in your Screen section, just before any Display subsections. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
