I'm currently running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 5 04:19:18 UTC
2004
GENERIC kernel

Xorg's header when starting says:

Release Date: 18 December 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7
..<cut OS info>..
Build Date: 16 October 2004

Could the error mentioned have happened because I manually installed
XFree86 4.4 (based on X11 6.6) in trying to get *something* to work on
this system=3F  Could this also be causing some of the other problems I've
been having=3F  If so, how do I remove XFree=3F

Thanks,
Jon
