Both you James, and Lute missed my point. All I ask, is that someone do a little research before asking questions. It's not to hard. FreeBSD is the best documented Operating System out there. And it all starts at www.freebsd.org. Yes XFree86 is a complex system. It requires as much knowledge about your system as FreeBSD. However, it has it's own section in the FAQ and the Handbook. Step by Step instructions, and if followed, this problem would never have been asked. Also as is posted weekly by Sue, this is not really a forum for questions. If you have a question ask it on questions@freebsd.org.
