Hi

I'm having problems getting my X Windows to work.  I've been playing around
with the system (probably broke it), but this now has me stumped.  I'm
running FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE, and installed XF86 4.0.3 when 3.3.6 stopped
working (used it as an excuse).  At times I also got something about
/dev/mem (Operation not permitted)

Below is my X log file:
-----------------------------------------------

XFree86 Version 4.0.3 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6400)
Release Date: 16 March 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)
Operating System: FreeBSD 4.2-BETA i386 [ELF]
Module Loader present
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Mon May 28 13:37:33 2001
