I tried using xwrapper with xfree off the 4.4 CD, and I find that
wrapper nukes my XFree86 file, and if I rerun XF86Setup, I can get my
config back, but now it says to go and install xwrapper again. Rinse.
Repeat. I have gotten it working before with x4.1.0 from ports before,
though, am I missing something?
