Hi all, Forgive the cross-post... the problem seemed quite applicable to both. I recently received a new Dell OptiPlex 390, and decided to put FreeBSD amd64 on it. Everything's working ok, as it is a work computer and the fact that I have no 2d or 3d acceleration doesn't matter. I've run into an odd problem though. When I try to start up acroread9, It complains that it can't open DISPLAY :0. If I set the DISPLAY environment variable to localhost:0, it opens just fine. I installed linux- firefox and it displayed the same behaviour. My i386 box does not have this problem. DISPLAY is set to :0 and acroread opens just fine. Any ideas? Or am I just going to have to set up my .kde4/env directory to set DISPLAY to localhost:0? I'm running a recent (Sept 28th) 8-STABLE amd64 with an up to date ports tree. I would appreciate a cc as I am not subscribed to either of these lists. Cheers, DMK
