if auto-config fails, check out the xrandr pkg/port to get some screen specs. Have you looked at the output of 'dmesg' (or /var/run/dmesg.boot)? It will give you detailed hardware info. Also, I suggest posting that info on this list as well. Perhaps someone has the same hardware as you and can suggest something specific to it. -Neal > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]" > _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
