Fellow FreeBSDers,
I originally sent this to FreeBSD-X11, but this may be a more appropriate venue.
I have recently installed FreeBSD 6.1 on a Pentium III box, using an NVidia
GeForce 2 GTS card and a CTX PL9 monitor. Running "X -configure" as root
generates the file xorg.conf.new, and then running "X -config xorg.conf.new",
pulls up a generic X screen with a resolution of 1600x1200. I go in and modify
the xorg.conf.new file to make the default resolution 1280x1024, and rerun "X
-config xorg.conf.new", but the resolution is still 1600x1200. This is a
wonderful resolution, but it makes everything rather small, and the icons are
difficult to see. I am obviously setting something wrong, but I do not know
what it is. Might anyone have any suggestions. I really would rather have the
resolution be 1280x1024. Thanks for your help!
Carl
