I just bought this software from CompUSA. This is hardly a FreeBSD per se problem, but an X configuration problem. 99.9 there is no problem with you media. You should: - read Chapter 5 The X Window System from the FreeBSD Handbook - check the docs on the xfree86.org site. - ask on questions@freebsd.org * providing details * (X config file and error log + hardware details) as no one could guess what hardware and setting you have. -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD "user"
