Dear Sir:

I meet a problem with FreeBSD 4.2-Release.

Originally I used it well. The X windows system
worked well with KDE, GNOME. But after I installed
XFree86-4 I cannot start X window again. The procedure
are following:

First I install XFree86-4:
#pkg_add XFree86-4.0.1_8.tgz

After it finished I got following message:
******************************************
To improve security, the X server is installed without
a SUID bit. This is suitable for use with xdm, but not
with a startx script. If you need to use a startx script,
install the x11/wrapper package.
******************************************

Then I did:
#pkg_add wrapper-1.0_1.tgz

After it finished I returned to the shell.

From here I cannot start X window again!!!
#startx

I got the forllowing message as in file XFree86.0.log.
==========================================
XFree86.0.log

	If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
	than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
	problems.  (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: FreeBSD 4.2-BETA i386 [ELF]
Module Loader present

Data incomplete in file /etc/XF86Config
	Device section "Primary Card" must have a Driver line.
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()

Fatal server error:
no screens found

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
==============================================================

So could you please help me to solve my problem?
And I am not very familar with the more detailed jargon of FreeBSD.

Regards.
Thanks.

Steven Shen.
