mm, I've done some digging, some reading of Greg's book, some=20
head-scratching but when I look in the mirror I see someone who doesn't get=20
it. But I've got somewhere. I worked out how to use find, compared the=20
fonts path with one in XF86Config and corrected the config et voil=E0 I got X=20
up and running.

So while I understand the path problem I think there is still a bug in=20
FreeBSD 4.6 as the ATI drivers aren't there. Should I submit this? If so=20
how?

Thanx

Charlie
