Once XFree 86 configured and the machine rebooted (directly at the first trial, without ANY customisation of my own), when I type startx as root, I obtain a strange message from a module of Xfree 86 (I am under windows and I don't remember the name, sorry. Something like xfree86io) telling me that it cannot access /dev/io.... If I switch back to normal firewall rules, then startx starts Xfree as root but if I try it as a normal user, it says "Cannot open /var/log/XFree86.log.0" It seems also that the system does not really recognize the name I get from the DHCP server (myname.myprovider.com) and it complains about that when I quit X11. >How-To-Repeat: See the full description: Install FreeBSD 4.6.2 (basic system + XFree 86) Configure XFree 86 (mouse = Auto) Network: DHCP Firewall : extrem reboot. Log as root and type "startx". X never starts. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
