Very Computer

I have a modem in my box. It is a USR 5610 Pci modem. It is not a
winmodem, cause, well, i can use it in linux. This is a reach, but I
think it should work in fbsd as well. Ok, I have a serial port (sio0).

i said that right, i'm typing it from memory). Anywho, I can't get the
modem to initialize in PPP. I know that it is on COM3 (or ttyS4 in
Linux ---> but shouldn't it be ttyS2 cause it is 1 less in *nix
systems? Somebody could answer that for me too :-)) When I try to set
the device to /dev/cuaa2 (where is should be), it doesn't work. When I
try cuaa0 bsd freezes up on me. I know somebody out there can shed
some light on this subject for me :-)

Bonus question:

When I run KDE 2.2 in FBSD, the screen is huge. I've managed to gather
that it is some kind of virtual desktop or I have to edit the
resolution somehow. Could somebody point in the right direction (file
to edit)?

THANK YOU in advance, I am in dire need of help.

        try this

        around line 378

        Modeline "1024x768a"    75    1024 ... and so on
        <-- change 1024x768 to 1024x768a -->

        <-- around line 544 - between 'Section "Screen"' and 'EndSection'
        just under where it sais 'Depth 32' change the Modes line to read -->
        Modes "1024x768a"

        <-- NB: I assume you are using the SVGA server. The server should choose
        the highest available resolution on the mode line and use that to set the
        virtual desktop size. The starting resolution is the first available
        one on the Mode line. Switch resolutions via 'Ctrl Alt +' and 'Ctrl Alt -'

        to test - try 'startx -- -bpp 32' otherwise iff you are using xdm

        edit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers and change the :0 line to read -->

        :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 32 -allowMouseOpenFail

        <-- this just means roughly: run the server in 32 bits per pixel mode and
        don't bleat about an unplugged mouse -->

        pps: look at the manual for the monitor - it should have a list of scan
        rates it can cope with. 1024x768 at 70 Hz is pretty safe for most monitors
        these days.
