Would this keep me from >running the X config? I've downloaded and installed the new NVidia >drivers. Xorg has replaced XFree86 as the window manager for FreeBSD as well as most Linux distros. Xorg is a newer version of XFee86. I would check out X.org for a little info. The process for setting up Xorg is mostly the same as for XFree86, you just replace XFree86 with Xorg wherever needed. It's been a while since I installed Xorg, but I believe the handbook (at freebsd.org) has instructions for both XFree86 and Xorg setup and configuration. >freebsd-x11@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-x11-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" Thanks, Bryan -- Open Source: by the people, for the people.
