The section on X is here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html If you have read it, then pretty much all of your questions on installation should be solved. If not, then next time you want to ask a question, please please give some information about the version of FreeBSD, the video card, and monitor. There is also a very good paper about upgrading X at: http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/Install4.html#8 Of course I am assuming you are trying to install 4.2.0. > > On Sun, Mar 24, 2002 at 12:41:16PM -0500, Lee Gold wrote: > > The problems I've had w/upgrading from > > x 3.36 to 4 are very hard for me to understand. > > I think this a "simple" upgrade is way way beyond > > an "average" user who just wants a better desktop. > > > > In any event would some one please help me. > > Please.
