I just installed FreeBSD-8.0-i386 on my office system. I can't find anything
like the xf86cfg/xf86config tools for configuring X that used to come with
FreeBSD earlier. The only utility I could find is xorg-edit, but this is
nowhere as user-friendly as the earlier tools.
Xorg -configure will create a very basic xorg.conf. Usually I just copy
the Device section out of that and into one of my own configs where all
the excess has been removed.
Can somebody please send me a sample xorg.conf for Intel Q35 Express
chipset (384 MB video RAM) and a PNP Dell LCD monitor which is
happiest @ (1440X900 resolution/ 32-bit colour / 60 Hz refresh) in
Windows ? The keyboard and mouse are standard USB.
First, check the Handbook X11 configuration section to see what it says
about hal and dbus. It describes both using them and running without.
I assume the default file location remains unchanged : /etc/X11/xorg.conf
That works, yes.
Here's a slightly-modified copy of the xorg.conf from my netbook, which
uses hal and dbus. You'll probably need to change the BusID to match
your system.
