I have been attempting to configure X windows. I have an ET4000/W32 video card, an SVGA monitor with an hsync of 35.5 Khz and a vsync of 70 Khz. I have a plain old serial three-button mouse on serial port one, ttyd0. I have configured X to run via the SVGA server, but it doesn't work. It errors with: xf86OpenSyscons: Cannot open /dev/ttyvc (No such file or directory) I don't have a ttyvc. As far as I can tell, it wants a thirteenth virtual terminal for my twelve. I only have twelve function keys, and when I tried to configure my kernel to accept thirteen virtual terminals it killed all my ttyv* and I had to rebuild the kernel again. I am currently reading all the X docs i can find on my system, and the Complete FreeBSD X sections. Please send help! Thank you, this list has been a great help in the past. -Spike Gronim sporkl@dti.net "Tradition is the chastity belt of the mind"
