Hello all,

I'm quite new to FreeBSD. Actually, I'm just using it for a couple of days. 
After years of Linux I decided I needed a real fast and secure system...
Currently I'm trying to setup X on a Sis 6326 chipset on an old SVGA 
monitor using FreeBSD 4.2 (full install). Somehow it doesn't work. I used 
xf86config (because XF86Config didn't work, it couldn't start the default X 
server....) to configure. I did this loads of times in my life but somehow 
now it doesn't work.

When I try to start X (using startx as user root) I get:

to

Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: KDENABIO failed (Operation not permitted)

</QUOTE>

If needed I can send more details of my system. (f.i. the compelte X output)

P.S. I posted this to freebsd-newbies by accident (I'm a newbie ;-). Sorry 
for the crosspost.
