Initially, I had sysinstall install the XFree86 3.3.6 on my system. I decided to install XFree86-4 from /usr/ports so that I could use the TrueType fonts (the 3.3.6 way, hung my machine). Did the cd /usr/ports/x11/xfree86-4. make make install. All went well. With some help from the list, got my mouse working. Problem: When I start Xfree86 4.0, I get the desktop. I start a terminal (or really, anything), and after a short period of time, the system just locks up. I can't reach any virtual terminals, keystrokes to shutdown the Xserver don't work, nada. I've looked at the log files and see nothing out of the ordinary. Any ideas ? thanks, Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
