Thanks for the tip... doesn't seem to be workign for me... the only place I can find that file is in /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4/work/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xf86cfg/cf86cfg and that is with the locate command... if I try to cd to that directory, I get permission denied... even as root... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Karlsson" <martin.karlsson@visit.se> To: "Totally Jayyness" <Jayyness@mindspring.com> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, December 21, 2001 7:02 AM Subject: Re: Configuring XFree86 4.X ...............
