Hi List,

Thanks again to everyone for helping with my wireless problem.  Now, I
installed FreeBSD and included X and Gnome 2 environment.  I selected the
lowest resolution (VGA) to see if it would work (I have had trouble getting
X to work with some flavors of Linux on this machine).  When I run startx, I
get garbage on the screen and the computer locks up.

I have a Dell Inspiron 8100. It uses the nvida GeForce2 GO.  In windows I
use 1600x1200 and 32-bit colcor. What other information do you all need?


Regards,

Scott
