Would it be better to make version 4.2.0 without X running? I also know I'll need to change XF86Config file, but that's not too much of a problem. Thanks for the help. If you are using an ATI Rage Pro video adapter you would be well advised to completely avoid the newest version of XFree86. Works great with the (three-year-old) ATI Rage Mobility in my HP 4150B. YMMV. I tar'd up all of /usr/X11R6 and all of /etc/X11 when I jumped from 3.3.6 to 4.0. You're advised to do the same. -- Chris BeHanna http://www.pennasoft.com Principal Consultant PennaSoft Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-stable in the body of the message

I had problems with 4.2.0 (it worked but a few things were a tad flaky, especially Xvideo), but I've been updating from the XFree86 CVS tree and it is working better and better.
