Hello, On a recently installed FreeBSD 4.5 system, I installed XFree86-4.x binaries from the CD, along with the other XFree86-* packages, plus the 'Xwrapper' program. The output of 'startx' is below. Running 'startx' seems to be no different than running 'Xwrapper'. The machine is a Dell Latitude CPi notebook, and its video chipset was listed in the list that the 'xf86configure' provided. Any suggestions? Many thanks, Brent [brent@myhost](~)$ Xwrapper-4 XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510) Release Date: 2 June 2001 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
