I finally downloaded the exact specs on my old laptop from Gateway and plugged them into the configure file. No help. I tried each of the 4 configure methods from the menu. No good, nor does the graphics menu work any more. I have attempted to switch from KDE to Gnome, to Windowmaker. Again, no good. I have tried several other things such as the one below: # cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 # make install clean It then suggests that I 'make reinstall' or 'make deinstall'. I tried reinstall first with it then suggesting that I 'make reinstall' again or 'make deinstall'. # make deinstall # cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 # make install clean While this seemed to install ok, it was still no help. I'm still stuck with line item commands. When executing afterwards: XFree86 -configure I get: Fatal Server Error xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O Log says the same thing.
