hi

dell optiplex gx150, ati all in wonder 128 pro vid card, fbsd4.5

i went through my first install last night, and i managed to get fbsd insta=
lled.  however i have a problem with xfree86 - note that i successfully con=
figured x=20
using the graphical xfree86 configuration tool during the install - sysmous=
e, standard keyboard, 8514 compatible monitor, for the card i used mach64, =
since that's what i saw in fbsd's initial hardware detection during the fir=
st part of the install, set it to 1024x768 16mb, i was able to see x window=
s during the install but skipped configuring x using vidtune. =20

now, the machine boots successfully, but i can't startx as root or regular =
user.  the message i get is fatal server error: no valid modes found.

i am attaching my xfree86config.  note that the ati all in wonder is the se=
cond vid card in this machine.  i had an onboard intel 82815 that wasn't fb=
sd compatible, so i added the second agp card.

anyways, here's my config.  if anyone can tell me what i'm doing wrong i'd =
really appreciate it.  thanks
