Seems like the problems are with X config rather than what files are living on your HD. There are any number of X config files/tutorials on the Net to read through and compare to what you're getting in /etc/X11/XF86Config. If that doesn't give you a good idea what to fix, send your config file to the list so someone smarter than I am can help you. ;-) > Is there any disadvantage to installing XFree86 with # pkg_add -r XFree86 > as compared to using /stand/sysinstall, select Configure | XFree86 ? You just have to do the config step separately after pkg_add. Otherwise, no difference I'm aware of. Jud
