[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I can't find the answer to this question in your docs: What version of your software includes xfree86 4.1.0 or higher as the default version of xfree86 available during install? I use a Matrox G450. I was not able to get xfree86 installed on my system post-install. I'm a newbie. For some reason, the cvsup without gui package I downloaded via ftp and installed with pkg_add after my 4.5 release install doesn't seem to work either. So basically, I'm not able to learn FreeBSD yet using the GUI. So for now, I'm stuck learning *nix using Linux instead of FreeBSD. Help! I downloaded 4.5 release. It installed OK without gui, but I want to use FreeBSD as both a server and as a desktop with Gnome or KDE; so I need xfree86 4.1.0 to work with my video card. Thank you very much, Louis [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4807.2300" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can't find the answer to this question in your docs:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What version of your software includes xfree86 4.1.0 or higher as the default version of xfree86 available during install?
