Ok, trying to setup my XFree86-4 via the manual, but the manual doesn't seem
correct ???

first I do this as root

cd /usr/port/x11/XFree86-4
make
make install
make clean

Then as the Manual says
Configuration of XFree86 4.X is a several step process. The first step is to
build an initial configuration file with the configure option to XFree86. As
the super user, simply run:

    # XFree86 -configure

But when I try to run XFree86 -configure, it can't find it.  I have done
find searches and even updated my Locate Database but this file just doesn't
exist.  I tried looking through the man XFree86 and it says there are a
couple of config files but I can't find these either.  I am only assume that
these config files are created during the configuration phase.... I just
need to figure out how to get the configuration phase started.

The manual also says
XFree86 4 can be installed using the FreeBSD ports system or using
pkg_add(1).

So I am using the /stand/sysinstall to install XFree86-4.1.0_6 to see if
maybe that installs files that the ports didn't... doubt it, though.
