You have to correct your vertical refresh in your xorg.conf. I had to add the line: VertRefresh 75 to the monitor section when I went from CRT to LCD. That didn't work for me. When I use -configure to generate a conf file the Monitor specs seem to fit my monitor but the monitor won't use it. Looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log I can see that it tries all the modes and says this for each of them: (II) NV(0): Mode "1024x768" is larger than BIOS programmed panel size of 1 x 1. Removing. (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (unknown reason) (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "512X384" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Fatal server error: no screens found Funnily enough, when I passed Xorg -config a non-existent config file name (by accident) it displayed the black and grey grid with the X in the middle. Editing /etc/ttys so that the system booted to console instead of starting X, then removing the xorg.conf, then running Xorg -configure generated a conf file that worked. It looks the same as the the first one that was generated but the system likes this one better. thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Get the LCD screen's VertRefresh (Vertical Refresh Rate) and HorizSync values from your monitor's specifications and update the values in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
