Hello,

On a recently installed FreeBSD 4.5 system, I installed
XFree86-4.x binaries from the CD, along with the other XFree86-*
packages, plus the 'Xwrapper' program.  The output of 'startx'
is below.  Running 'startx' seems to be no different than 
running 'Xwrapper'.  

The machine is a Dell Latitude CPi notebook, and its video
chipset was listed in the list that the 'xf86configure' 
provided.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Brent
