You would get the xorg server with the xorg metaport/megaport. One thing I can think of is a little dirty trick I have seen in FreeBSD but not NetBSD or Linux, X comes up but no response to mouse or keyboard. I ran startx, got twm with its windows, but no response to mouse or keyboard. Cure was, to include in /etc/rc.conf hald_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" Tom _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
