Not tried on my laptops yet, but note: http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/4.6R/qa.html XFree86 4.2.0. sysinstall now installs XFree86 4.2.0 instead of XFree86 3.3.6; the XFree86 installation now uses ``normal'' binary packages instead of the special tarballs in past releases. The ports infrastructure now uses the XFree86 version 4 as the default version for satisfying dependencies. Not clear if yours is an install or config problem, but if config, maybe your laptop display chip might not be recognised by the new X ? Perhaps try /usr/X11R6/bin/ XF86Setup & SuperProbe ? We mobile owners will need to be more cautious than tower owners going from 4.5 to 4.6, as we won't have their possibility to swap out graphic cards with no longer supported chips. I'm going to tread carefully with mine when the time comes, & perhaps need to delete 4.2 & install an old 3.3.6 if necessary.
