Bah! I FINALLY got XFree86 4 installed and running through xdm (it is set up not to let users run it from startx). I set the X version number to 4 in /etc/make.conf - as suggested in another thread, did a cvsup, buildworld, (good build) and installworld, reboot. Once I rebooted, I ran /stand/sysinstall, used my current XFree86.conf as a reference, and backed down to single user, then back to multi. Xdm came up perfectly, allowed me to log on, brought up my wm (rather more quickly than I am accustomed to on Linux, of course) and immediately showed me a blue shadow of a band straight down the center of my screen. Upon starting mutt in an xterm, I was unpleasantly surprised by the very same goofed up window mixing I was seeing before. A block of text from a window might get overlaid just to the left, or at the top left of the screen, or whatever. Any further ideas? Thanks Lou On 08/06/01 09:41 PM, David M.
