I just installed XFree86-4.1.0, after I finished installing it I did the
'XFree86 -configure' and it made my configuration file, so then I type
'startx' and this is the error it gives me:

========================================================================
==============
XFree86 Version 4.1.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 2 June 2001
        If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
        newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
        reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE i386 [ELF] 
Module Loader present
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Sat Dec  1 23:47:40 2001
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
(EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile()

Fatal server error:
no screens found

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org.

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
========================================================================
==============

Ideas on why I'm getting this and how I can fix it?  Any ideas or
suggestions would help.

Dave
