I am having problems with the above configuration.
It's a 32MB Creative labs card.  Monitor is a Digital
15 inch.  It says '50-60 Hz' on the back.
The problems I'm having are that the display comes up
black and white, is garbled and isn't refreshing
properly.  This configuration worked fine when I had
Xfree 4.0.1 installed.  I've since deleted the
partition, re-installed FreeBSD 4.0.1 with Xfree3.3.6.
Attached is my XF86Config file.  Can someone tell what
might be wrong?

Thanks.
