Really. Am I missing something? What was so great about XF86Setup? I haven't had any problems configuring XFree86 4, using the included tools. The "xf86cfg" program included with XFree86 4 seems to do the job very well, and even uses the "XFree86 -configure" command as a starting point, rather than guessing at 'safe' defaults like XF86Setup did. Plus, it has support for new features of XFree86 4. - Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
