Hi Victor, Not sure if this will help, but there's some good information from a Linux Dell D610 user who seems to have a good xorg.conf which should be roughly the same for FreeBSD: http://www.kcore.org/?menumain=4&menusub=2 He mentions a video BIOS patch called '915resolution'. There's a FreeBSD version at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/sysutils/915resolution/pkg-descr More information on "the hack" here: http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/ -- HTH.
