Okay, I'm back with another question (but let me begin by saying I
love FreeBSD. It really is great. Thank you for building/supporting
it.)
I have one of those $300 Presario laptop's, and it's really wonderful
-- it compares very well to laptops' selling for $2k to even $3k.
But the video driver is an AMD 8200M nvidia device and I can't get X
to configure it. And I have to run X. What do I do?
I've tried:
X -configure
that fails.
I notice that PC-BSD will configure it correctly but for other reasons
I have to run native 7.2 FreeBSD -- PC-BSD won't do.
I am not very X experienced (mostly use the ordinary screens,) so I
will need pretty explicit assistance. Sorry.
