Guys,
Here's the story XFree-4 vs xorg. I have 4 platforms on
a KVM so every machine uses the same tube. With XFree,
my 3 FBSD systems had a flawless 1280x1024 display. With
xorg, on my E-machines (ATI-Rage- 4M Video) the screen
quivers. On my HP Kayak (Matrox II 8M) the display is
steady but the tube is complaining "INVALID SYNC". The
CRT is a high-end Hitachi. I got the exact specs for both
the horiz and vert hertz ranges. Before, I was just
close. Now everything is dead-on.
Another couple things. With XFree, I set the DefaultDepth'
to 8; now, on both computers it is maxed out at 16. If I
do set the default depth to 8, xdm fails. (It "tries" to'
initialize, then something clicks/resets, the screen
flashes grey for an instant; repeats infinitely.)
Can anyone clue me in on howto get back to XFree on both
systems? I know about make.conf, but what should I
pkg_delete?
thanks for any help,
gary
