Shut down X, and typed "startx" and got errors about not knowing about DefaultDepth. I removed the line,and restarted fine, but still with the horrible graphics.., I know there's some simple thing that I must not be aware of / know. On another line, what is the best way to move to XFree86-4.0.2 from this point? Here's the uname info: # uname -a FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #1: Tue May 7 00:13:10 BST 2002 :/usr/src/sys/compile/ i386 #=20 Thanks all the same.
