The following reply was made to PR misc/51146; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Alan Larson <alarson@switchanddata.com> To: alarson@switchanddata.com, freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: misc/51146: Incorrect error message when configuring XF86 server during install. Date: Fri, 9 May 2003 17:22:03 -0700 (PDT) Further investigation of the source reveals that the test is for the existance of /etc/X11/CF86Config --- previous versions tested for /etc/XF86Config . Unfortunately, now some of the configuation programs place the file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config -- where it doesn't get noticed. Other times the user may place it in /etc/XF86Config (which is still legal). In any of these cases, the error message occurs, and is incorrect. It looks like when this happens, configuring the desktop may also get lost. Alan
