Some of the man pages in /usr/X11R6/man/man4 may also be useful. I have found that while the documentation in a given installation of XFree86 may be more specific to that installation, the documentation on www.xfree86.org is sometimes more complete. The most recent release of XFree86, 4.3.0, is more or less what all recent FreeBSD releases are using. Dan Strick strick@covad.net
