I'm updated my ports and my system to -STABLE. However when I try to configure X-Server I get a blue flashy screen that reminds of death (too many years on MS I guess). Any how, I'm attempting to the Handbook ( http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html ): # XFree86 -configure # XFree86 -xf86config XF86Config.new Instead of the wonderful "black and grey grid and an X mouse cursor" I get some retarded shaky blue-ish crap. My machine is a Dell Inspiron 8200 Laptop ( 15 IN SXGA+ || 64MB DDR 4X AGP NVIDIA NV17 3D VIDEO ). Any ideas what I have to do in order to get this to work? ~ Matthew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
