I'm new, and I'm not sure what your output is saying Try the other configuration programs in /stand/sysinstall The on listed in the hand book didn't work for me either. I had to do the middle choice one (the one with the -textmode parameter). If, after that, you're still having problems with it loading 3.3.6: Try going to the 3.3.6 directory then doing a make deinstall Then go to the 4.2.0 directory and do make deinstall then: make all install clean That will probably fix it from booting up in 3.3.6 Then do the configuration again. If this does not fix it, I suggest that you post on the XFree86 "XPert" mailing list. Hope it helps -James Turnbull ----- Original Message ----- From: <zjoe@sundsu1.deltast.edu> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Tuesday, July 09, 2002 8:59 PM Subject: Help Needed for Problems with X > > I installed FreeBSD 4.6 recently on my machine and > tried to do the install and configuring of XFree86 > during the installation.
