Greetings *,

I have asked for help last Friday.  Since I got no response so far,
I think I better asking for help again.  I have problem to start up
X in 386bsd 0.1.  I believe it's caused by Xconfig.  I have followed
the instruction in Bob Crosson's Tutorial to come up the following
numbers:

 "800x600"  50  800  1012  1204  1416   600  603  609  630

I tried that, but in vain.  Also, I tried xclk found in agate and
run with the following numbers:

 "800x600"  50  800   832  1032  1064   600  603  609  630
 "640x480"  50  640   672   872   904   480  483  489  504

but failed.

What I have in my Xconfig:

vga256
chipset "et4000"
virtual 1152 900
viewport 0 0
[NOTE: I don't have clocks setting since I don't know how to do it.]
Modes "800x600" "640x480"

VGA card: VGA MENTOR (based on Tseng's ET4000 Turbo MegaVGA Chip and BIOS)
          a little tin can shows 50.000 MHz
          (I assumed it's 50MHz)
Monitor:  NEC 2A  (max. 800x600)
          Horizontal frequencies: 31.5 and 35 (or 35.2?) KHz.
          Vertical   frequencies: 56, 60, and 70 Hz.

Help me!  Somebody.......
