I tried to install a test box with 8.0 CURRENT 200902 amd4 disc1.iso Everything was fine until I tried to run xfce_setup. It goes to a normal mouse arrow than dies off with this error. "xlib extension error" "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0". Has anyone on our list seen this? Any ideas how to fix this? Is there a line in the config that I can add manually? I have setup many XFCE3 desktops and other than unidentified video cards, which have to be replaced with something FreeBSD can identify and connect to, it has just worked. I find XFCE4 to loaded for the tasks I need. Thats why I use the older simpler version of this wm. I tried on the XFCE forum but no response from anybody there. Any help or direction on how to fix this is appreciated.
