I have a freshly installed 4.0-Release and I installed XFree86 from the ports tree. I configured it to use an a Geforce 256 DDR (generic). My card is actually an Asus card, so that's one thing that may be causing problems. I also used the exact monitor configuration from my monitors manual. I don't have that exact information here as I'm at work, but it's an Acer monitor. Exact statistics provided upon request. When I first started X I believe by default it runs .. erm, twm. It seems to work alright unless I switch between a console and back to X. When I do that I have this graphical garbage on my screen. I can get rid of it by moving the windows around and forcing those sections of the screen to redraw. Since twm was (mostly) working, I installed mozilla. Mozilla will start, but the first window (the one that prompts you about profile information) is a grey box with a white box on top of it. I can't see the text or buttons (but I can click them.) I tried switching window managers and I have simalair problems with each. I can not see, at all, what's happening with enlightenment. I tried something simple again like fvwm95 and all the icons are completely black. Any suggestions or pointers to documentation I've missed would be wonderful.
