Hello! I would like one of two things (inclusive OR, down below!): - A pointer such as an URL to a resource where the details of the X server and configuration is explained in an understandable way,
Or - An explanation as to how to use the xf86cfg tool so the end product is a usable graphic interface. I have installed FreeBSD now for about 5 years on different machines, and I find that later it has become increasingly difficult to configurate X. For me, it's more or less a trial-and-error process (if this doesn't work, then does *this*?, etc...) I admit that I don't understand X very well. I don't see why I would have to, either. This is the *only* thing I hold against FreeBSD, and I know that probably it isn't very easy to make a point-and-click configuration program for X, it seems to be a client-server thingamajig of unfathomable depths. Cthulhuoid. One of the Great Old Ones, what whith tentacles and all. Nevertheless, an understandable configuration interface would be great. A *bit* self-explanatory, maybe? I really have to get my FreeBSD-gui going 'til tomorrow, I have a Computer Science lab report due Wednesday...if that's possible, I am happy. Now, I "$ startx" and, fine, my fluxbox Window Mangler came up once. Then it didn't want to start. *When* it started, I had 1600xSomething in screen resolution. *Not* what I wanted...I don't know, I am about to give up in favour maybe of something as pusillanimous as Red Hat :) /Fredrik Carlén, Stockholm, Sweden. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
