You wrote the book, after all :) (Which includes an excellent chapter titled "XFree86 configuration in depth". I didn't read this chapter when I did the initial install, but when I did a major upgrade I read it so I could "tweak" my configuration. Very interesting stuff. I just wish the @%^#!&*$ manufacturers would provide all the data about their products!) Getting back on topic, I recently installed FreeBSD on a PC here at uni, and was able to use the same XF86Config that Linux had been using.
