I have a ThinkPad T23, running on a Savage S3 video card (FreeBSD 6.0).

Having installed Gnome, the resolution popped open at 640x480. Not a
problem, I read in the handbook & this site that all I needed to change
was the xorg.conf.new, and include the Horizontal Refresh/Vertical
Refresh settings, etc...and then select it in the Gnome menu for
desktop resolution.

Doing so resulted in no new selections from the screen resolution menu
(even if I only put 1024x768 as option).

So I tried performing the CTRL+Alt++ in Gnome (as I read in this
forum). While the screen changed -- it seemed the real change was to
the font size, rather than the resolution (i.e. still 640x480, but the
font changes from say, 10pt. to 12, then 14, then 18, etc....)

Can someone point me to either a sample xorg.conf file? Or settings
newbies, like myself, may be missing (i.e. not written in the
handbook)? I have everything running smoothly -- but my resolution
should be able to hit 1024x768 (with 24bit or 32bit -- I cannot
remember). Perhaps I need to check a particular driver?

I'd be also happy to read anything that may already answer this
question...

That's the hardware that came with it...I can't complain.

I will configure the settings file, and let you know.

Cheers. stoomaroo.

Too many drugs -- must stop!
