Doug ... a search through the archives will reveal a mail originating
from Doug White saying something like " ... reinstalling is for
M$-things. FreeBSD is not a M$-thing so reinstalling is in most cases
not needed ...". When reading your mail i though to myself:
"YES !!! Very true."

John, if your X-installation went without any errors and problems,
we should be able to get it going:

/usr/include/errno.h:
#define ECONNREFUSED    61              /* Connection refused */

So, is there a X-server running and what are the permissions on
that server ?

neuron:~$ ls -al /usr/X11/bin/XF86_Mach64
-rws--x--x  1 root  wheel  1748992 20 Jul 22:32 /usr/X11/bin/XF86_Mach64*
neuron:~$

What are the permissions on your server ?

Malte.
