Help!! FreeBSD latest version with latest XFree86 version install
I am using BSD latest vesion with KDE installed. However when i log in to my X window, my screen res is like 640 by 480 or less. cuz those icons are BIG. I am using LCD Samsung SyncMaster 560V TFT. How do i set my KDE res to 1024 X 768?

Any help will be deeply appreciate
thanks~

You can try CTRL ALT + or CTRL ALT - (plus or minus on numeric keybord) pressed simultaniously to switch betwen different resolutions or you will have to edit your XFree86 conf file located in /etc or /etc/XFree86

If you decide to edit your conf file look for line that looks smth like this:
640x480 800x600 1024x768
and put the desired resolution first:
eg. 1024x768 800x600 640x480

I hope this will help, if not let me know and I'll try to be more specific (arghh I'm on windows now)
