>Description:
Chapter 2.9.12 of the Handbook covers configuring an X server from sysinstall. It doesn't have instructions in reguards to FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE or X.org. Chapter 5 is a much better resource for those attempting to configure X
>How-To-Repeat:
Read handbook section 2.9.12 and compare to section 5
