This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------06F029C6A8DBD13E41866E6A Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, I recently tried to install XFree86 4.0 from the FreeBSD 4.1R package directory at ftp.freebsd.org. I installed all the packages that look like "XFree84*4.0", but I did not get any X server installed. I also looked in the 4.1-stable packages directory, and din't find anything that might contain an XFree-4.0 X server either. So to me it looks like there is no XFree86 4.0 X server in the packages directory, currently. Or am I missing something? In the meantime I have installed XFree86 4.0 from my 4.0R CDROM. On that CDROM the XFree86-4.0 system is in one LARGE package rather than split into functional pieces, and it DOES contain an X server. Unfortunately this old package has a problem with .Xauthority files (they are created with zero bytes, so I have to run with xhost(1) based authorization). Can anyone provide me with an up-to-date XFree86 4.0 X server, or give me a pointer? Please CC me on the replies, I am not subscribed to -questions due to the volume. -- Thanks, Georg-W. Koltermann Email: gwk@sgi.com P.S.: I've cc-ed jmz because he is listed in the ports collection as the maintiner for the XFree86 4.0 port. --------------06F029C6A8DBD13E41866E6A Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="gwk.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Georg-W.
