I downloaded it from xfree86.org yesterday (some eight-to-twelve tarballs) and installed it today on FBSD 4.5-REL, using their script. It installed clean, but I did cheat on config'ing the thing - I copied my XF86-4.0.2 /etc/X11/XF86Config from another machine to this one. With those in place, and installing that Xwrapper thingie from the ports collection, I was up and running as an unprivileged user faster than I've ever installed X before, on any platform. > Thanks for any help, > Manuel Hope this helps, Dave -- Windows: "Where do you want to go today?"
