X on Intel GM965 chipset

2008-05-16 Thread Nishita Desai
Hello, I just installed FreeBSD 7.0 on a Dell Vostro 1200. It has Intel's GM965 chipset and I cannot get X to work at the right resolution of 1280x800. I updated and reinstalled the x11-drivers/x11-video-i810 and x11-drivers/x11-intel ports. But X still dies whenever I tell it to use i810

Hello, I just installed Xfce4.4 on FreeBSD 7.0. I have been trying to get it to directly give me a graphical login. The Xfce manual says this can be done using gdm. According to it, I need to copy the example file xfce44.desktop into /usr/X11R6/share/xsessions. The example file is supposed to be
