OpenBSD with X continued

[David Anderson]

I have the Nvidia Geforce 2mx running on XFree86 4.0
and you do not have a mode line in your XF86Config-4 file
IF your are using the "nvidia" driver,
It has auto-detection of monitor resolutions and refresh rates
When I was using the "nv" dirver I never could get the screen placement
exactly how I wanted it, with the "nvidia" driver there's nothing
for me to do about resolutions
Here's the link for BeOS
