Doug ... a search through the archives will reveal a mail originating from Doug White saying something like " ... reinstalling is for M$-things. FreeBSD is not a M$-thing so reinstalling is in most cases not needed ...". When reading your mail i though to myself: "YES !!! Very true." John, if your X-installation went without any errors and problems, we should be able to get it going: /usr/include/errno.h: #define ECONNREFUSED 61 /* Connection refused */ So, is there a X-server running and what are the permissions on that server ? neuron:~$ ls -al /usr/X11/bin/XF86_Mach64 -rws--x--x 1 root wheel 1748992 20 Jul 22:32 /usr/X11/bin/XF86_Mach64* neuron:~$ What are the permissions on your server ?
