Things went well ... until I tried bringing up X. Since then, I've been studying, hunting through archives, etc. and have become mired in too much data. So, I'm asking for help. Here's what happens when I configure and then text X ... vulcan# Xorg -configure X Window System Version 6.9.0 Release Date: 21 December 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.9 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 6.1 i386 [ELF] Current Operating System: FreeBSD vulcan.wump.org 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:42:56 UTC 2006 root@opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 Build Date: 24 March 2006 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org to make sure that you have the latest version.
