It will also save you considerable compile time. *** If you want to use XF86Setup to set the INITIAL configuration, *** then you must build the VGA server Do you want to build the VGA16 server?

[YES] Y </installation.log> IMHE, the configuration is possible via [a] few different versions;=20 mine is, er, are currently tcl-8.3.1 and tcl-8.2.3; I recall=20 installing XFree86-3.3.6 immediately after I had installed tk-8.3 (ie=20 which, in turn, installed tcl-8.3.1). Also, as a quick look at the PLIST confirms, different versions of Tcl=20 -- Tool Command Language -- can (should) happily coexist :-) Best regards, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
