If it the same as mine, X -configure will fail also. This can be caused by having stale outdated drivers installed. When X runs without a config (like it does when you run X -configure) it tries to load every driver that it can find. So, having one old or broken driver installed can cause it to fail. robert. --=20 Robert Noland <rnoland@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD --=-ECbDsiyl5C7sNGypmb6d Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkpFAcYACgkQM4TrQ4qfROOPZQCffFHTrDmcW58tJL1NyLWUrnwJ CGUAmwc4e6KJZ7q+eusmIx8gWIB1fSGN =Ydwf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ECbDsiyl5C7sNGypmb6d--
