I guess the best idea would be to have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html and try how far you get on your own. Also you should save your old XF86Config somewhere. It's syntax has changed from XFree86-3 to XFree86-4, but probably you will be able to recognize most important settings. > > While I am keen to get suggestions on how to correct this access > control glitch, I would be happy to fully upgrade X if that's > recommended.

Either via /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 or pkg_add -r XFree86-4 or /stand/sysinstall --> post install configurations Good Luck, Uli. > > > -- > Paul. > > mailto:paulh@logicsquad.net > +---------------------------+ | Peter Ulrich Kruppa | | Wuppertal | | Germany | +---------------------------+
