>Description:
  After installing FreeBsd4.6, I tried to configure X using "/stand/sysinstall" menu.
I then use "configure" option to go to "FreeBSD Configuration Menu".
In the "FreeBsd Configuration Menu", I selected "XFree86" Menu.
In the "XFree86 Menu", I selected the "xf86cfg" option.

After configuring the XFree86 server and creating a XF86Config in the
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11" directory, the following message displayed on the
monitor.

-------------Start of Message --------------

             User Confimation Requested
    The XFree86 Configuration Process Seems to have failed.
    Would you like to try again?    Yes       No

-------------End of Message-----------------

After that, I typed "startx" and the simple window manager started without
any problem. I then installed KDE, and then typed "startx" and KDE started
without any problem. I installed Fxtv application and fxtv starts fine.
My Computer mouse is a two button mouse, configured as three button mouse.
If i click on the righ hand button, the FXTV will change it's size from small
to medium, and if I click again on the right hand button, fxtv will change it size
from medium to small without any problem.

However if I click the Left hand button, fxtv change it's size to full screen,
and you the screen desk top Freezes. No matter what mouse button you click or if
you press any key on the keyboard, the display will not respond.

The only way out of this situation is to use "Ctrl" "Alt" "BackSpace", to
kill the window manager.

I have noticed this problem in FreeBsd4.6,4.7,4.8. However this problem
did not occure in FreeBsd4.5, and therefore FXTV works fine in FreeBsd4.5

I looked at XF86Config file, and every this seems to be OK.

I am sure the above problem is to do with XFree86 4.2 and Xfree86 4.3 and not
the Fxtv. This is due to the displayed error message during the X configuration.

The above error message is happen with FreeBsd4.7 and 4.8.

However if you configure the X using "xf86config" in "/usr/X11R6/bin" directory,
 or any other methods, you will not see the above error message.

According to Realse notes for FreeBsd4.6, you can install XFree86 3.3.6
by adding the following line to "/etc/make.conf"

XFREE86_VERSION=3

But there is no such a file i.e. (make.conf) in the "/etc" directory.
However there is a file i.e (make.conf) in the (./etc/defaults/) directory.

Could you be kind enough to let me know, if I also need to create a make.conf
file in the /etc directory or not.

I also would be grateful if you could explain how to install, the Xfree86 3.3.6
instaed of Xfree86 4.2, since it is not clear from the release notes.

Knowing that I can come back to you and provide you with more information.

I also installed FreeBsd4.6 source and binaries only on a new formatted disk using
the FreeBsd4.6 CD's. I the tried to install XFree86 3.3.6 using my FreeBsd4.5 CD's using
pkg_add.

I notice that although pkg_add performed successfully, I did not see any
XVGA server in /usr/X11R6/bin. Therefore I could not get the Xserver up and 
running. As a consequence I could not eliminate if the problem is with FreeBsd4.6
or with XFree86 4.2.
