Note that we have both in the ports collection, so the definition of "recommended" sounds more like "default" to me.
It "works" in the sense that I get the correct dimensions, but I'm unsure as to whether I risk frying the card or screen by using the current values, and whether I can somehow establish which values would be optimal for my card and screen.
Besides, isn't the code base for this and X.org still very similar? Yes, but there have been many edge cases where one works and the other doesn't. In general, X.org brings better results, but it's worth a try.
Alright, thanks. I'll see about it. Get hold of the latest Knoppix CD from http://www.knoppix.org/, burn
it to CD, boot from it and see if that works. Knoppix is a Linux distribution that runs from CD, so it's good for this kind of test.
I still don't understand how it will provide the values I'm looking for. I note that none of the other messages that have gone by in this
thread have addressed what I consider to be the crucial point: you have a BIOS mapping issue. It would be interesting to know what version of FreeBSD you're running.
