Hello, OK, I just solved my PATH problems and now the "xinit" command is trying to work. The catch is that now it gives me this charmig message: Fatal server error: Cannot open mouse (no such file or directory) I have installed FreeBSD on an IBM Aptiva. On the X configuration tool I selected (wrongly, I guess) the Microsoft mouse support. Now when I boot from diskette and try to access the X configuration tool, it won't let me. I changed the file XF86Config file (Section "Pointer") from: Protocol "Microsoft" Device "/dev/mouse" to: Protocol "PS/2" Device "/dev/mouse" but it still will give me the same Fatal server error message all over. I don't know if this is the right place for placing these awkward questions, but - although I am fairily familiarized with UNIX - it's the first time I try running this operating system, and I do have this bias against Intel based machines. If there is a more apropriate procedure for getting help, please point me in it's direction and I'll be glad to leave you in peace. Anyway, thanks for your support! Ruy Flavio de Oliveira
