Maybe "Xorg -configure" and manually post-configuring xorg.conf is the way to go. Of course you have to verify _which_ graphics is installed: Maybe it's ATI, maybe Intel. Then you have to install the corresponsing driver. In worst case, try the VESA driver, but don't expect any 3D stuff working flawlessly with that. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
