XFree86 is an implementation of the X11 interface. You can find a better description at their homepage (http://www.XFree86.org). For instructions on setting up XFree86 on FreeBSD, please look at the FreeBSD Handbook. You will find the FreeBSD Handbook at http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ and the chapter about X11 configuration can be found at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11/ ************** IMPORTANT NOTE ************** You might want to update that machine, since 4.4-RELEASE is a rather old release now, and there are well known security problems with some of the programs distributed in the CDROMs of 4.4-RELEASE. These have been fixed in newer versions of FreeBSD, so updating is a *must* in your case. The "Cutting Edge" chapter of the Handbook explains how this can be done. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
