I have been told that the reason that I don't have a graphic desktop yet is because my XFree86 Server is not configured right. I finally downloaded the exact specs on my old laptop from Gateway and plugged them into the configure file. No help.
I tried each of the 4 configure methods from the menu. No good, nor does the graphics menu work any more.
I have attempted to switch from KDE to Gnome, to Windowmaker. Again, no good.
I have tried several other things such as the one below:


# cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
# make install clean

It then suggests that I 'make reinstall' or 'make deinstall'. I tried reinstall first with it then suggesting that I 'make reinstall' again or 'make deinstall'.

# make deinstall

# cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
# make install clean

While this seemed to install ok, it was still no help. I'm still stuck with line item commands.

When executing afterwards: XFree86 -configure I get: Fatal Server Error
xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O


Log says the same thing.

Any ideas?
