VGA detection script with resolution and depth settings
  =A0
Hi! I played here with Xorg autodetection and made this litle script for=20
testing- it may work on all computers I think. Xorg detects your video card=
=20
and creates config file that is much better than PC-BSD current one. You ca=
n=20
set resolution and colour depth from command line:

# pimpmyvga.sh resolution depth
# pimpmyvga.sh 1280x1024 24

TODO:=20
1. Add fonts path not included in autodetected config file.=20
2. Make graphical interface for setting resolution, colour and refreshrate.
3. Make script for testing current config file within 15 seconds where user=
=20
can interact with gui and press accept button if it works. If failed itt=20
would be reverted back to more conservative default resolution as 1024x768 =
or=20
vesa driver.
