Okay, the saga continues . . . after doing a "rm -rf" on both my /etc/X11 and /usr/X11R6 directories, I went to www.xfree86.org and downloaded: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 25961532 Jun 6 22:59:21 2002 X420src-1.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 23227328 Jun 6 22:59:34 2002 X420src-2.tgz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 9306679 Jun 6 22:58:37 2002 X420src-3.tgz Later, when all three were gunzipped and untarred, I had a dir called: drwxr-xr-x 11 root wheel 512 Jun 7 22:52:23 2002 xc I am wary of just changing to that directory and typing "make all" or "make World" because, well, I don't know what I am doing. So here is my limited first question. How do I make sure the "make" knows about my OS?? Thanks, PS - Foregoing the hassle of borrowing someone's videocard, I plan on trying just the standard svga or vga drivers once X is reinstalled; Both the ati and r128 (Rage128) drivers have failed me miserably, as has ATI >:( -- Peter Leftwich President & Founder Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA +1-413-403-9555 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
