I use a Matrox = G450. I was not able to get xfree86 installed on my system = post-install. I'm a newbie. For some reason, the cvsup without gui package I = downloaded via ftp and installed with pkg_add after my 4.5 release = install doesn't seem to work either. So basically, I'm not able to learn FreeBSD yet using the GUI. So for = now, I'm stuck learning *nix using Linux instead of FreeBSD. Help! I downloaded 4.5 release. It installed OK without gui, but I want to = use FreeBSD as both a server and as a desktop with Gnome or KDE; so I = need xfree86 4.1.0 to work with my video card. Thank you very much, Louis ------=_NextPart_000_0007_01C1CEC8.185C5590 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4807.2300" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I can't find the answer to this = question in your=20 docs:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>What version of your software includes = xfree86=20 4.1.0 or higher as the default version of xfree86 available during=20 install?
