These are worth fixing, though minor - the entries tell you how.
corrected - thanks, i should have done that sooner.

You have 2 monitors? If so, I recommend the TwinView config. It's tricky, but works well.
no, i dont - i have a single samsung syncmaster 213t - but it has both analog and digital cables, as does the graphics cards. so i plugged them both in.
winxp has no trouble switching between the two modes, and although i need to manually switch with freebsd - it still makes a reasonable difference.
x is only visible on digital, while console looks terrible unless in analog.
strange, but true.
# Option "NoLogo" "True" # Option "RenderAccel" "True"
You might want to uncomment RenderAccel - try it both ways once you get your color depth right.
will try that.
As mentioned by the other posters, put the default depth speck in your screen section.
i hope this is the key - once the current bout of compiling is complete, i will exit x and try again.
Looks like you've got the NVidia AGP working, can I ask whether you compiled it with Linux support? Did you get it from the ports or as a package from NVidia?
yes, the agp does seem to be working fine.
the nvidia package i downloaded direct from nvidia, and followed their instructions. was easy enough - except for the colour depth.
i am not sure, however, if the nvidia driver was compiled with linux support.
i did not do anything specific to make it so.
i'm not sure if it helps, but my kernel is compiled with linux abi compatibility.
and although the directory /compat/linux/usr/lib does exist, it is difficult to tell exactly which libraries nvidia are refering to in their documentation. i guess the tester will be running a gl app.
i will test one of the screen savers when i switch over.
And I assume you have Xorg installed from the ports?
yes, installed from the ports. works like a dream.
The AGP feature has been an issue for several people, and it's been tricky nailing down the tipping point that will make it work for some and not others. I've got it working (very nicely with two monitors) and it's bugging me that another person with the same card and FreeBSD version can't get it working.
i'll help where i can - this is a very fresh install of 5.3, and onto an empty disk - so no upgrades or changes, just a straight install.
and i can pretty much remember most of what i've done to get here - if it helps i can certainly note the steps. perhaps you could see something in the sequence?
Lou
thanks for your help, as well as jo and karel.
