I am actually not looking for a Windows look alike. I am simply replacing my XP system with a BSD solution. I am looking for a fast easy to configure and fun WM. I am absolutely looking for something new to use. not Windows like. That is why I was looking at enlightenment and fluxbox. but there are just so many I was hoping to get ideas as to why one would choose one over the other. Other then personal preference. I have been using enlightenment for about a week and perhaps it is something I did but my resolution is stuck at 1600x1280 at 65Hz. My monitor keeps getting mad at me and telling me that is not the recommended solution. I have been trying to figure out how to change it and I have updated the xorg.conf as the handbook says but it still defaults. Unless anyone has an idea why I am going to switch to fluxbox and see how that feels. I did want to mention that I do agree with your point. I am looking for something new and I am looking to experiment with other ways of doing things. But at the same time I would like a little eye candy. After all with today's power full systems there is nothing wrong with waisting a few CPU cycles to make the experience a little more enjoyable. I will certainly give XFCE a try I have seen allot of recommendations for that as well. Sincerely, Joshua Lewis
/etc/X11/xorg.conf should look sorta like this, yours should have more Display SubSections in it: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection EndSection -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
