Hi all (Greg Lehey already mailed to), I am Keith Spencer in Townsville Australia. I am trying to use your book to install X on my new machine. celeron 433 Intel integrated video motherboard I810 chipset. I am new to all this Unix stuff..but I am keen to learn. I have determined that XFree86 4.x supports my video. I found how to install a port.In particular FreeBSD ver 4.2 installs XFree86 3.3.6 so I didn't do this because it doesn't support my video. I went into the ports tree on my drive (I had installed the entire ports tree) and found x11/XFree86-4.1 Anyway I did "make" and then "make install". It took ages, downloaded source files automagically via FTP ok and seemed to install ok But now what? If I go into X11r6/bin (I think), I can't seem to run xcfg86 or xfree86config (or whatever they are called.) ????? Am I missing something? Should I have installed X3.3.6 from /stand/sysinstall and then did the port build thing for X4.1 ? Really stumped. I would appreciate your help on how to continue the install process. I find the various docs confusing (coming from M$windows environment) Regards Keith _____________________________________________________________________________ http://au.classifieds.yahoo.com/au/car/ - Yahoo!
