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. ?

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..
