I've tried installing FreeBSD 4.62 and 4.7 (from ISOs I've burned) 
on a box I've previously had 4.5 running fine (Xfree86 and all), 
and with both of the newer versions the Xfree86 install bails out 
when trying to start the GUI config (right after configuring the 
mouse) . . . 

. . . but this works fine on 4.5

anyone with any insight on what might have changed and/or how to 
fix it ?

I have a Diamond Stealth64 VRAM video card and a SVGA monitor
