Hello @ FreeBSD

I have a long week behind me, because I had try to get Xorg or XFree86 on my Sony Vaio C1VE running.
(Specs are here :
http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/notebooks/0,39023984,10000247,00.htm )

The bad thing on this Laptop is the Screen Resolution of 1024x480.
ATI Driver is running with 1024x480 but only with 8 Bit Colour.
VESA Driver is running with 640x480 with 16 or 24 Bit Colour.

I see also many other people in the WWW with the same problem. 
With older Releases of FreeBSD or XFree86 it was no problem on this Laptop.

I have try so many things that I really not know where to search also or where to get help...
Do you have any idea what I could do to get more then 8 Bit Colour with 1024x480 ?

Thanx a lot, 
HAVE FUN and 
with my best regardz
ronny
