Just a question concerning XFree86. I'm new with FreeBSD and XFree86. I just installed it as best as I could, and I chose 1024x786 as resolution (I suppose :) How do I get the screen to 1024x786 and not a 640x480 scrolling 1024x786 screen ? And which X enhancers is useable when I have a 486dx2-80 w/ATI Graphics Xpression 1mb PCI (Mach64) and 20mb ram (4gb hd) I can't really stand the standard X look :) And do someone with this Mach64 Xpression know the 100% correct setup for 1024x786 (interlaced), 256col. ? > I swear, the graphics performance of my new Millenium > with 3.3 makes my P-120 look like an SGI! my 486 sure don't look like an sgi to me.. :) Sorry if my question is a bit ... lame ... But I haven't bashed around with the X yet.. _tDr_
