[-- Attachment #1 --] I just installed FreeBSD 4.2, and tried to install XFree86 4.02 from the ports. It got the sources and the dependencies, but when it tried to compile, it came up with many make errors about "PEX". So, I went to XFree86.org and got the 4.02 binaries. I installed them and I **think** it installed OK. I did xf86config, but I have a few ques. I have been using Slackware Linux for months, so UNIX is not new to me. I don't know what to put for my ps/2 MS Intellimouse. In the Fbsd install, I chose a generic PS/2 mouse(at /dev/psm0). I don't know what mouse protocal and driver to put in my XF86Config. Everytime I startx, it comes up with errors about how it failed to load my core pointer. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or am I just another FreeBSD newbie? :) ANY help would be greatly appreciated. -Jeff [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4134.600" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#e8e8e8> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just installed FreeBSD 4.2, and tried to install XFree86 4.02 from the ports.
