I'm trying to get X up and running. Currently the best that I get is a resolution of 640x480 for X. I have a ``Grafika'' monitor from DTK and a ET4000 SVGA card with, I believe, 512k of VRAM. All of this hardware is legacy stuff so I'm stuck with it. We have a lab of these machines running BSD/386 1.1 and can get them all to work at 1024x768. I'd like to be able to get at least 800x600 for a resolution so that I can begin to upgrade that machines in the lab. Thus far none of my attempts to get /usr/bin/X11/Xsetup to reconfigure my system have worked there do not seem to be settings for this particular hardware. Can anyone point me in the direction of drivers at least for the et4000 for Xaccel? Or possibly a pointer to better documentation then what came with BSD/OS 2.1, 2 pages just doesn't cut it. -- "As Jun [Murai] explains it, `I can go to the bar and drink beer.
