I'm enclosing my XF86config files for both XFree 4 and 3.3. I doubt that the idea that subtracting any memory from your RAM would work, nothing like that has ever worked for me. My config files are for 4 MB of video memory, as you know, the amount that is detected or you enter is commented out when the file is generated, I just removed the comment. In your case you have to change it to your amount of memory, but it should work as it is. The monitor is a generic one set for 16 bpp at 70 khz refresh rate. You may have to change it, but it should work with any modern monitor. I hope this works, and I'm sending it to the cooker list as well. -- Anna (Kritifile) quitedown writes: > hey, > Well for me the Xf86config just doesn't seem to work. The Xconfigurator just > hangs.
