What should I do ? Vikram, The program 'xf86config' should be depricated in 4.x versions of X. Instead, the preferred method is running 'XFree86 -configure'. This will run a series of tests for a moment and create a configuration file in your current directory. You can find further instructions on this method by reading the following from the FreeBSD Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html The Table of Contents for the entire X Window System chapter are at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11.html When in doubt, consult the handbook!
