PCBSD looked cute and worked well on VMPlayer in WinXP. So installed on HDD. Installation was smooth. On first boot it threw up error "IO Error in XOpenDisplay" and went to command prompt. Searched this forum and did "Xorg -configure". KDE came up with 640x480 resolution and with fudgy fonts. Again searched forums & enabled "Option NoDDC" in XF86Config. Well fonts were some what OK for user, but fudgy for "su".

How can I change the resolution to 1024x768 to make Desktop cute.

I am new to BSD. Please help me to sort out issues.

Xorg.0.log shows following:
%cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(EE)"

(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(EE) GARTInit: Unable to open /dev/agpgart (No such file or directory)

%cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW

(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum
(WW) I810(0): /dev/agpgart is either not available, or no memory is available
(WW) I810(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum
(WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 failed.

Thanks in Advance

hi,

Accidentally, I solved Resolution problem. My friend suggested to check BIOS Video Settings. Video Ram was 64 MB, which I thought was OK. For the heck of modifying, changed Frame Buffer Size from 1 MB to 8 MB. To my pleasant surprise PCBSD booted to 1600 x 1280 (something like that) and Desktop was overshooting on all sides. Modified XF86Config for "1024x768" and now beautiful KDE pops up.

But Errors & Warnings continue in Xorg.0.log. Mine is a multi boot - WinXP / Suse/ Ubuntu / PCLinuxOS / PCBSD. Now I find these EE & WW in all Linuxes.

Is it safe to run with these, not sure.

BTW earlier Gentoo Linux LiveCD would boot in to konsole only. Now it is booting to Gnome Desktop

Cheers
