The story so far :-( I managed 2 get Gnome up N running at 640 x 480.
I then switched from the on board video to a Nvidia at which point
the screen jumped up to 856 x 480. I should have quit while ahead,
BUT at this point in time the parcel man knocked on my door and
delivered
a MB I bought on EBay so I installed that. Since then I have never
been able to
get Gnome running at all. The new MB (ASrock) has on board video
which,of
course I tried 2 use. It also came with a fancy Gigabyte ATI 9600 ATI
card which doesnt
work either. I tried a spare Cirrus Logic card but no luck with that.
the Monitor
is a Sony triniton Multiscan G420. I tried xorgcfg -textmode which
only shows an unlisted card
and invites me to tell it what freq etc. the monitor is capable of.
I'll have another go 2 day
after my morning cruise in my Volvo with the Free BSD stickers on :-)
