Hi,
 
I can't find the answer to this = question in your=20 docs:
 
What version of your software includes = xfree86=20 4.1.0 or higher as the default version of xfree86 available during=20 install?  I use a Matrox G450.  I was not able to get xfree86=20 installed on my system post-install.
 
I'm a newbie.  For some reason, = the cvsup=20 without gui package I downloaded via ftp and installed with = pkg_add after=20 my 4.5 release install doesn't seem to work either.
 
So basically, I'm not able to learn = FreeBSD yet=20 using the GUI.  So for now, I'm stuck learning *nix using Linux = instead of=20 FreeBSD.  Help!
 
I downloaded 4.5 release.  It = installed OK=20 without gui, but I want to use FreeBSD as both a server and as a desktop = with=20 Gnome or KDE; so I need xfree86 4.1.0 to work with my video = card.
 
Thank you very much,
 
Louis
