New to FreeBSD, need help with resolution issue

[abierstedt]

Hello,

I have a newly installed copy of FreeBSD 6.2 i386 on my thinkpad T23.
I have a number of issues to iron out, but one that I can't seem to find a solution to my problem with screen resolution manager in Gnome.

When I open the resolution manager, I am prompted with--

An error occured while loading or saving configuration information for gnome-display-properties

Some of your configuration settings may not work properly

-----the details of this message-----
"Bad Key or directory name:"/desktop/gnome/screen//0/resolution": can't have two slashes (/) in a row


I understand that you cannot have two slashes in a row, but this is not something I manually did ( at least i don't think )




Please help me out if you can.

thank you

-Anthony

I have if_ath_load="YES" in my loader.conf and my wireless card flashes, but i cant connect to any networks. Should i install the gnome network manager and applet?

first try adding this to loader.conf if_wi_load="YES" if that doesn't work then go with network manger applet
