Hello everyone
I am a newbie. I have just Installed FreeBSD 5.3 and I am
trying to get X started. But after typing "Xorg -configure" (I
learned this from the Hand-Book) I got the following error
**************************
Fatal server error:
xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O
***************************
I have no clue as to what that means
I am also pasting the Xorg.0.log file.
Thanks in advance
Jadukor
