Howdy.
I'm relatively new to FreeBSD on the desktop. I've been burning along
quite happily for a couple months, but this morning my new Samsung 226BW
showed up (22 inch widescreen).
Pretty screen, but running in Xorg and GNOME, I'm limited to a
resolution that's rather crap (1280x1024 before it starts shifting
around following the mouse).
Relevant lines from my xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
#DisplaySize 470 300 # mm
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "SAM"
ModelName "SyncMaster"
ModeLine "1680x1050" 119.0 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053
1059 1080
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
HorizSync 30.0 - 81.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Device"
### Available Driver options are:-
### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
### [arg]: arg optional
#Option "NoAccel" # [<bool>]
#Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>]
#Option "ColorKey" # <i>
#Option "CacheLines" # <i>
#Option "Dac6Bit" # [<bool>]
#Option "DRI" # [<bool>]
#Option "NoDDC" # [<bool>]
#Option "ShowCache" # [<bool>]
#Option "XvMCSurfaces" # <i>
#Option "PageFlip" # [<bool>]
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "i810"
VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "945G Integrated Graphics Controller"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
And a screen section with no mode settings but a bunch of color depths.
Anyone have any words of wisdom?
