It looks like you're trying to have XFree86 generate a clean XF86Config for you. If that's the case, copy it to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. While /etc/X11 exists on FreeBSD, it's not the preferred location. I don't know if X will even look there for it. In order to get any helpful advice, you'll have to provide more information. Give us the entire contents of your XF86Config (and triple-check that its the one that XFree86 is using!) as well as the full output of your XFree86 log which you should find at /var/log/XFree86.0.log. Good luck. Charles Ulrich -- http://bityard.net
