Hi,

I have several questions about the XFree86 Version 4:

1st: If I have downloaded the port x11/XFree86-4.1.0_6, do I still need
the ports x11/XFree86-clients-4.1.0, x11/XFree86-documents-4.1.0,
x11/XFree86-libraries-4.1.0, x11/XFree86-manuals-4.1.0 and
x11-fonts/XFree86-XXXServer-4.1.0_1 to get the system running?

2nd: I have installed the Version 4 last weekend but several proplems
occurred to me. The first was, that the execution of xf86config didn't
offer me the 102-Key Keyboard. The second was, that xf86config didn't
offer me the color bit depth of 32 bit. Both were possible with Version
3 and the same hardware. But the BIGGEST problem was, that after
starting X with startx, my mouse always ran out of the screen through
the upper left corner, displaying some parts of the X menues all over
the screen. Note: I have taken the same mouse protocol as with version
3. SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? I have no further idea, do you have one?

3rd: I'm not able to redirect the output during the startx startup as
described, e.g. in Greg Lehey's Complete FreeBSD Handbook, not in sh,
not in csh! Any Ideas?

Thanks and greetings,
Thomas
