I'm running FreeBSD 2.0 and XFree86 3.1 and unable to make the x-server to
select 16 or 24 bpp modes as the default mode.  I tried commenting out
the 8 bpp modes in XF86Config but the server complained the fonts not
compatible.  Helps and suggestions are appreciated.

Also is there any way to access my teac 4x CD-ROM (IDE) in Freebsd 2.0?
