I have tried 4 times with fresh installs and have tried configuring XF86 using sysinstall, XF86Setup and xf86config. This hardware has not problem under release 4.0 or 4.1. This is the error message execve failed for /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 (errno 2) _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. I tried reinstalling just XF86 but no change in behavior. PPro200 overdrive (333mhz) 128meg Adaptec 2940UW 1.3.34 firmware Matrox Millenium I 8mb ps2 logitech mouse Xwrapper is installed, startx looks okay, X is linked to XF86_SVGA server. I can execute XF86_SVGA and get a blank screen with moveable mouse but no window manager. twm and fvwm are both installed. I've never had XF86 fail under a Freebsd install even as far back as Freebsd 2.2.2. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
