(XFree 4 is available in ports) 3) or... ask your boss to plonk down ~100$ for a commercial X server: http://www.metrolink.com/ http://www.xig.com/ -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] Daemon News Magazine in your snail-mail! http://magazine.daemonnews.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
