I'm very new to FreeBSD or to any UNIX/Linux environment. My company is starting to look at it so I wanted to get a head start and use one of my old PC's to install and learn to use it. I have been able to install FreesBSD 6.1 - I also downloaded Xorg and finally Gnome 2.12.3 - This is on a Pentium III 933 MHz 284 Mg RAM. The PC is a Dell Dimension 4100 and the monitor is a Dell M781s. I can't get the screen resolution better than 640x480 - but the Monitor manuals state that it can handle better. [1]http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/688en/en/index.htm The Video card is a Trident '94 more than that I don't know how to figure out. I don't remember if this was the card that came with the PC from Dell or if I had to replace. One more thing but I believe it doesn't make a difference - There's an IView KVM Switch that I have in between the Card and Monitor. Anyway any help to get my Screen Resolution better than 640x480 would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. _________________________________________________________________ [2]Get today's hot entertainment gossip References 1. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/688en/en/index.htm 2. http://g.msn.com/8HMBENUS/2755??PS=47575
