It is not clear. Did you create the file /etc/X11/XF86Config? If there is no /etc/X11 directory, you can create it with: mkdir /etc/X11 Is it possible there is another XF86Config floating around out there that you are actually using? Try looking at /var/log/XFree86.0.log Mine says: XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.9 i386 [ELF] Build Date: 15 October 2003 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version. Module Loader present Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Mon Nov 3 22:24:11 2003 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config" [...] So, it tells you which config file it is using. Also, have you installed the /usr/ports/x11/wrapper port yet? You will need that to startx as a regular user. PS> a better title for this post would be: startx gives "screen not found" or something along those lines :o) _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
