thanks for the help, I tried edithing the

or window manager will help? or its the X server thats
the problem?
Well i found out some things you may want to look:
the command vidcontrol(1), syscons(4) and then
/usr/defaults/rc.conf has this line (375) in section
"system console options"
allscreens_flags="" # Set this vidcontrol mode for all virtual screens
the modes are listed in vidcontrol and there are other interesting options in
this section.
Because if i understood well then you have problems with the console and the
gui, is this right?
Well the console has nothing to do with xorg.conf in this case. This is set
before you start the xserver.
I tryied allscreens_flags="VGA_90x60" i reboot but didn't work. However I
won't be able to see the machine for the next two weeks.
Let me know if you make it work.

thanks but the Fn+F7 didn't help, nothing happens,

yes I'm using a laptop. Is there another way?
I never had this problem myself. I have a friend
with an HP laptop that gets
the command line interface always in the middle of
the screen. However KDE
works fine for him so we never got messed with this
until know..
The only difference i can see right now is that he
gives
#kdm and not #startx to start KDE and it starts
normally (whole screen)
In his case Fn + F7 combination doesn't work with
the non-graphical interface
but works with KDE.
To further help you personaly i will have a look but
not in less than 10-12
hours from now.
are you editing the xorg.conf file or using
#xorgconfig (or similar command)
to make changes?
Anyone else faced with this already?

Subject: question
I installed freeBSD 6.0 on my pc and kde but
starting
"startx"
will only display a small part of the whole
screen.
Is your pc a laptop?
For example if this happens on my laptop, I may
be
able to alter it with the
combination "Fn+F7". Is there such chance in
your
case?
Just in case this helps.
I tried
configuring the X11 but when I add the
"HorizSync"
at
30-107 and "VertRefresh" at 48-120 the screen
only
diplays colors. How do I make it make kde
appear
with
the whole screen?

Had a Pressario 730CA myself, and the machine's video goes bazerk switching back
from GUI/graphics to console - same problem under netbsd and openbsd too...
Upgraded a year ago to an AMD64-based Compaq Pressario 3000-series, same problem
still ... turned out to be the video driver. I 'upgraded' to the nvidia driver
and things are WAY better now, can switch consoles, smoother 3d performance too.
Not recall the video chipset in the 700 series though, but if I recall they were
nvidia too no?
Anyhow - just thought I'd drop my two cents, took me a million
support/frustrated emails to various lists before I got it figured out too, hope
this might help.
