What is the best way to change the driver? Are only the via driver compiled and included in mfsroot.gz ? I found a reference to the via driver in one configure script in the Xorg port, can i just change this to trident and build a new Xserver? There should be some convenient way to change the video driver and Xconfig file (for instance, I have a swedish keyboard, not a french!). Maybe it would be better to have a more complete Xserver available and then just pick the parts that are needed and put them into mfsroot. Also if booting by PXE are there some way to specify differenet mfsroot files depending on the device booting, I have many different kinds of thin clients available. Thanks for a good start, I already like ThinBSD much better than PXEs linux! /Martin -- Martin Nilsson, CTO & Founder, Mullet Scandinavia AB, Malmö, SWEDEN E-mail: martin@mullet.se, Phone: +46-(0)708-606170, Web: www.mullet.se Our business is well engineered servers optimised for FreeBSD & Linux
