[nycbug-talk] help with freeBSD

[Ryan Seu]

Hi everyone. I'm a noob to freeBSD but I'm definitely trying to
working on it and get the kinks out. I have a basic tech question that
might belong more on the X.org list but I thought I'd throw it out
here first

I just installed freeBSD 5.3 on my work station (Dell Dimension 3000)
that has i865G intel chipset. I managed to get X started but I'm
having problem adjusting the video mode. It keeps going back to the
default 640X480 mode. I checked the log file and the only thing that I
can see that seems relavent is this:

(II) I810(0): Monitor0: Using default hsync range of 31.00-80.00 kHz
(II) I810(0): Monitor0: Using default vrefresh range of 56.00-75.00 Hz
(II) I810(0): Not using mode "1280x1024" (no mode of this name)
(II) I810(0): Increasing the scanline pitch to allow tiling mode (640 -> 1024).
(--) I810(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 1024)
(**) I810(0): Built-in mode "640x480"
(II) I810(0): Attempting to use 73Hz refresh for mode "640x480" (41)

and it goes on

The device and screen section of my configuration file is as follows:

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Card0"
	Driver	"i810"
	ChipSet	"865G"
	Card	"i810 865G"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Screeno"
	Device	"Card0"
	Monitor	"Minotor0"
	DefaultDepth	16
	Subsection "Display"
		Viewport	0 0
		Depth	16
		Modes	"1280x1024"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Any suggestions?
