Always feel as though I am bothering people when posting to the forums.. LOL But, as I am new to this perhaps someone can teach me something.. The other day I took a huge step forward and got # Startx to work properly with the mouse and keyboard, as I was in # Startx I ran # exec gnome-session , and "poof" the gnome came up just fine. So I now have a working GUI.
Gnome is stuck in 800x600 though and this bothers me. I am noticing that when I run X -configure that it is saying that "Failed to set MTRR"
Guess what I am asking is how does one get better resolution in both the FreeBSD shell #
and in some of these programs like startx and Gnome, KDE, so forth I have tried to manually change settings in vidcontrol, also in Xorg.CONF , RC.Conf (allscreens_flags="-g 135x25 VESA_1024x768"
Want to try and get to 1152x780 if I can , for my monitor this is "normal" - I have the feeling because of my unfamiliarity with all this new stuff. I have the feeling that it may not be picking up on the correct drivers or something. I will try and copy the xorg log then next time I am here , and post it. Seems to find the video card, tells me it is :
Nvidia Gforce 7300se 7200gs 1152x870 75Hz H=1024 V=768
Think I may be just trying to do too many things at once, I will post the logs here soon. Thanks..
