I am fairly new to FreeBSD, and I have been having problems with my
IBM Aptiva 2196-24A in getting the on-board video card configured with
freeBSD. So i can run X window system at a decent resolution. All i can
get to work is Standard VGA driver at 640x800 at 8bit. I have had this
card working properly (win2k, ubuntu) so it is fully operational. The
on-board chipset is SiS 540, and due to freeBSD not supporting this with
options in the config menu, how can i go about setting it up to work?
In no particular order, what about:
1. Tell us more about what you've tried.
2. Post your configuration file.
3. Read the documentation at the Xorg site, or the manpage(s).
4. Peruse /var/log/Xorg.*log files for clues.
5. Xorg -configure ?
To hazard a guess, I'd suggest defining the proper Sync
and Refresh rates for your monitor and setting up a better
"screens" block with a higher resolution and bit depth.
Here's part of one of my configuration files:
--------------------------------------------------------
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "ProView"
ModelName "760N"
Option "DPMS"
HorizSync 35.0 - 70.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 120.0
EndSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
Modes "1600x1200"
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
---------------------------------------------------------
