That's usually not an executable, but a symlink. Just choose the right display server (let's say XF86_SVGA) and create the symlink: cd /usr/X11R6/bin ln -s XF86_SVGA X > Is there a way I can find out which of the install packages are on my > system, and which files are in which of the install packages? If they were installed with pkg_add, sysinstall or from the ports tree, then yes. Have a look at /var/db/pkg/ . The files installed for a port are usually in /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS . Ciao, Sheldon.
