Hi Danny

Thanks for your tips, some a little over my head, but a good read up
today should clear things up !(I  hope :)~) I will be trying them out
today.I am quite new to FreeBSD (about 4 months) and wish to learn it
thoroughly. I have had great success with every project I have attempted
so far.
I included the above as a point of interest -  you say 'So the
motherboard also has an onboard VGA chip So what? :)'

The  real interesting thing is that I have pulled the box apart, and I
assure you that there is no Trio VGA card - only on-board VGA. 100%
sure.Thats how it was when FreeBSD was installed - I installed myself
and know that there has never been a video card in this box.When setting
up X, I used the VESA driver.

Wierdrz or what :)

Thanks 
Andrew Kozak
