I don't have a /var/log/XFree86.0.log, but I do have a /var/log/:0.log (where'd that name come from?), and it says: > XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System > (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) > Release Date: xx November 2000 > If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is > newer > than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting > problems.

Do I just need to run mkfontdir on my font directories? Odd that I need to do that, since this was a working installation before the 2.2 update. Other questions -- why does the log report XFree86 Version 3.3.6 on FreeBSD 4.5 PRERELEASE? As far as I can tell I'm running XFree86 4.2.1, and I'm definitely running FreeBSD 4.7p4. That's scary. Maybe I need to completely reinstall and reconfigure XFree86? Is that as simple as removing the XFree86-libraries-4.2.1_6 package and reinstalling it? Do I just need to go to /stand/sysinstall and re-configure XFree86?
