hi, sorry if i did this whole thing wrong, this is my first time writing to
a help thingy hehe... im VERY new to FreeBSD... so new i havent even
installed it yet... but was reading some so i could learn some stuff new
people have problems with before *i* start.

i had a question about this:

run xf86config as root (very carefully! a wrong answer can fry
your monitor so run it again if you made a mistake)

setting it up wrong can LITERALLY fry my monitor!? i mean like, to where it
explodes, smokes, or stuff like that? things that i have to buy a new
monitor for!? sorry to seem so shocked, i just, have never heard of software
having the ability to kill someone's monitor (and im kinda worried now cause
i have a expensive 17" heh)

thanks alot
kerby smith :)
