Running XF86Setup I'm able to bring up the graphical display to set mouse, kybd, video card, and monitor. After that in running xvidtune to adjust various monitor settings, everything works find. However in trying start X with either xdm (as root) or just typing startx at the command line, I get: Fatal server error: no screens found X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). I running a Zeos 486DX-2/66 with a Actix ProStar VL video card (1 MB) with stock X configuration settings. I've looked at the FreeBSD and Xfree86 docs and haven't found anything that might solve my problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,
