New to FreeBSD, need help with resolution manager in gnome (EDIT)

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

have you tried to manually edit the xorg file and add the correct display settings?

If you need any help let me know
