It's obviously an error in line 1240 of some file or other ... now what file, I don't know, and whether the message is really the indicator of the problem I can't say. You didn't mention what chipset ... I assume the Intel i810? There's a subsection of the Handbook (5.4.3.1) dealing with that specific chipset, I suppose due to the fact is was very popular for a while....if that's your chipset, I'd definitely look it up. The handbook is available at www.freebsd.org/handbook, or via ftp .... "No screens found" means that the X server hasn't found any viable entries in the "Screen" section of the XFree86Config file (which is probably /etc/X11/XF86Config) ... I've attached mine; the "Screen" section is about 2/3 of the way down.... HTH, Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P.
