I have just installed PCBSD (I used SuSe, but on my computer it was too slow.). Onboard graphics card (unknown brand, 64M of shared memory) is recognized as ISA VGA and I can not change resolution to more then 1024*768. therefore is PCBSD useless, because this resolution on my lcd will break my head :-( Can You help me, please?

Don't look at Kernel message- it always shows ISA VGA- look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf or XF86Config file.

I found the file and there is this
---
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
HorizSync 31.5 - 48.5
VertRefresh 50.0 - 90.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "trident"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

it shows 1600*1200 but still I can not change to more then 1024*768. Should I change driver? It is onboard agp adapter and it was fully functional under SuSe.

I think you should rise HorizSync at least to 65 and lower Depth to 16.
