Did you select one of the "higher" security levels? X won't run if the security level is set too high, because it doesn't have permission to take over the screen/keyboard. I'm sure someone who has been around longer than I have can phrase this in more technical terms, but try setting kern_securelevel="-1" and/or kern_securelevel_enable="no" in /etc/rc.conf and re-running the X setup program At 02:30 10/04/2003, you wrote: > I am new to FreeBSD and I installed it on to my computer and after i > installed "X" i was told to run "XF86Config" and i typed it in and i > got Premision denied.
