My hardware is a bit on the old side now though, if that matters. One other point about my install - I also did a new, clean install of FreeBSD 4.5 and did not install X at that time. So, be sure to follow the directions if you already have X installed. One more point, now that it is installed, it is only useable by root. I haven't got that straightened out yet. -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
