The whole system runs fine, except for X Windows, which makes life a little difficult on the desktop :-) I've installed the latest ports for XFree86 4.0.3 and all related dependencies, and I've configured it properly and made sure everything is there. But on running 'startx', I get the "failed to open /dev/io for Extended I/O" error message every time. I can't find any help on this whatsoever, so does anyone know what the problem is? I don't want to have to rebuild the entire machine due to this!
