I didn't say my FreeBSD installation didn't work. What I was trying to say
was that the out-of the box config of X in Linux was considerably better
than the out of the box config of X in FreeBSD. To get FreeBSD to where
Linux was took hours.
But, I must admit geting FreeBSD configured was much more fun than Linux.
