HP Pavilion N5270 video setup

Hi All,

I've been all over the I.N. looking for an answer.  HP offers no 
solution.  As well as all others.  The video card is a S3 Savage IX (no 
longer in biz) and the Models' LCD has no brand offered.  The screen for 
video setup FreeBSD offers Legacy CRT settings only (no LCD call outs).  
I am attempting to set up for 1024x768 res screen for X11.  The only 
hint is a (60hz) referenced at the in the 1024x768 XP screen advanced 
setup deal.

I purchased the 5.2.1 FreeBSD package w/manual.  Would really like to 
run this guy on my laptop.  Can anyone offer some help.  When  I've paid 
this much for an O.S. I really was in hope of a smooth install.  I know 
this is an all volunteer organization, otherwise I'd be steaming.  
Still, perhaps it is true, "expectations are premeditated resentments".

Can any one offer any real help or suggestions.  I really do not want to 
burn up my screen, therefore I'd like more than, 'Well, you could try 
this (or that)'.

Thx in advance,
Grizz
