In the end I simply used X --config and followed the directions to get a vanilla config. I've occasionally tweaked it when I run into a post somewhere talking about a feature that seems cool or relevant or I'm just feeling particularly brave that day. Start modest and consider it an ongoing project. You may also luck out and find some sample configs for your particular model at Linux For Laptops (google this) since the x configuration differs little between OSes.

Is there some sort of autodetect utility? Is my hardware not supported? Thanks ahead of time, Oliver Gould Hi Oliver, I have just got over a similar problem on my first installation of freeBSD. My experience might help you. I reinstalled or started fBSD many many times without solving this horizontal/vertical problem. I wasnt too impressed either :). I think the difficulty came because I selected the first option in the Config X-server list (xf86cfg). I entered many variations of the horiz/vertical options because i could not find the sync rate information anywhere on the net for my kit. Nothing worked. Then i noticed someone recommended using the second option on the Config X-server list, xf86cfg - textmode. Using this method, I got through first time, and I just took a guess at the rates. I used 31.5-64.3 for horizontal and 50-70 for vertical. So for me, I think the real problem was that I was not using something that built the config file properly (or simply), ie I should have used xf86cfg - textmode from the start. I still dont know what the horizontal and vertical rates are for my kit, but it doesnt seem to matter now.

Is there some sort of autodetect utility? Is my hardware not supported? hello oliver, when i first installed X, i also was not able to locate any documentation covering the refresh rates for the LCD attached to my laptop. however, after much trial and error, i finally hit upon a working combination. i am writing with the hope that we can save you from this tedious process... if i am not mistaken, the xorg release (and even xfree86 4.4, i think) no longer needs an /etc/X11/xorg.conf. if you try to run X without, it should autodetect and load suitable settings. you can then, at your leisure, compile a working xorg.conf from the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log ...and guess what. when i tried this recently, i noticed that xorg detected and specified no horizontal or vertical refresh settings. yep, none. so much for all that time spent on trial and error. =] well, i'm not sure whether this is specific to 'my' hardware or whether it applies to LCD screens in general. regardless, given the minimal effort involved (renaming your .conf file), it is certainly worth a test. hope this helps. cheers, epi Thanks ahead of time, Oliver Gould ___ [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]
