Sorry to be so behind the times, but I have a Presario CQ60 (a COMPAQ laptop,) and need instructions to configure X. I'm running FreeBSD v7.2, with library packages from 7.4. I did put up 10.2, and that came up fine with X, except I'm a C developer and nothing I have seems to be compatible with the clang or the gcc48 C compilers. Sigh. So for now I am stuck in v7.2 and I would very much like to run X. I've enabled hald and dbus, and know I have to do something with the mouse, as in AllowEmptyInput but I have tried various combinations and am stuck. Also I get a message about fbdev not loading. Really, I am not an X person.
