Howdy all,

Any recommendation as to the right way to config X. Last time I did was using X86Setup back in OpenBSD 2.7 days.

What's the Xorg tool? How do I invoke it? Looks like I just need to fix the ranges, maybe they mean sync vert & horiz or something.

Or should I be typing gdm instead of startx?

Any advice? -below are some errors, infos, although the dmesg didn't pipe out the darn video card name, it's an onboard Nvidia, and the erros says RADEON, which is Dianmod/ATI from what I remember.
