Mike- In x4, there should be a log file created every time you try to start x called /var/log/XFree86.log.0 I think. Send that to the list. Are you on the first tty when you type startx? Press alt-f1 before starting X. As far as versions of x4, I have always had good luck downloading freebsd4.x binaries directly from ftp.xfree86.org. Mget all the files in the /pub/XFree86/4.1.0/binaries/FreeBSD-4.x directory then run "sh Xinstall.sh". These instructions are dated, but actually are still good. http://www.linux-mag.com/2000-06/xfree_01.html Jobe At 09:22 PM 12/31/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Thank you very much for your help.
