Resolution

Beginner

I just installed kde-3.4.2 with FreeBSD 6.0 on a Gateway 3522GZ

I have nearly everything working properly. One problem I am currently having is the resolution is 1024x768. Everything appears extremely larged and looks a bit stretched. I have tried to use the xorgcfg andxorgconfig programs to set the resolution to 1280x768. I have also tried to use gtf to get my modelines

# gtf 1280 768 60

# 1280x768 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 47.70 kHz; pclk: 80.14 MHz
Modeline "1280x768_60.00" 80.14 1280 1344 1480 1680 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync

I have placed the Modeline into my xorg.conf in the Monitor section and then restart X with no success. dmesg | grep pci0 shows

pci0: <display> at device 2.1 (no driver attached)

... it says no driver is attached, is this a FreeBSD issue rather than a KDE issue?

My card is:

)
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "i810"
VendorName "Intel Corp."
BoardName "82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"

Any help please

RE: Resolution

The DefaultDepth 24 in my screen seciton tells x.org to look at that color section. The first resolution that it will use is "1280x1024" as you can see in the mode line of the Depth 24 subsection.

No luck, apparently I need to use the 915resolution with the Intel *nix drivers. When I followed the instrutions at http://www.geocities.com/stomljen/ and downloaded the intel drivers listed on the site, when I reload X i get "No screens found" if I replace the old i810_drv.o from the webpage with the one that came with X. It tells me there is a module error with the i810_drv a few lines above. I can still get in X after replacing the file back with the original. I've tried to move the libshadow.so file to multiple locations: modules/ modules/drivers/ and tried to startx again, both without any success.
