If you are building X make sure you use the xorg port that includes all the necessary parts. I prefer: setenv PACKAGEROOT ftp://ftp<n>.FreeBSD.org pkg_add -r xorg This will work. If you want to build X from source include the tail of the build and you can probably get specific suggestions. All my workstations are far to slow/small to make this an option for me. Sorry - I think I missed the boat with my first post. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
