(also, i have had it working this way in the past, so this shouldn't be the problem). if anyone has any idea what might be wrong, please let me know. >> >> from /ports/emulators/linux_base-8/pkg-descr: >> If you want to run X11 applications, install the >> x11/linux-XFree86-libs port. >> hth >> ch > yes, christian, it helped enormously. thank you. not sure how i > missed that message, but am really glad that someone caught it. :) thank you very much, epi
