I was about to post exactly this questions... If you are looking for a last common denominator, you should all specify the same information in the same format... 1) Window manager a) name b) version c) a package? port? self? Motif? 2) X server (-showconfig) 3) X release 4) Video card a) Chipset b) Memory 5) Root window background a) if not default black and white crosshatch b) what program you use to set it 7) FreeBSD kernel a) From a distribution? (which one?) b) From a snap? (which one?) c) Self-built from -stable? (sup date?) d) Self-built from -current? (sup date?) etc. Just posting "Well, it works for me" and "Well it doesn't for me" is gnerating too much traffic and has little chance of hitting the problem. The last few posts, I have found that the configuration data posted has been tagged with "this one works" or "this one doesn't work" -- and that means that the information is useless.
