Hello, I am having the same exact issues as below with starting X on a new=
=20
FreeBSD install. I was wondering if you could let me know if there was a=20
resolution to this error. Thanks
Hi! I sent the attached data (below) to XFree86@XFree86.Org, but
after reading their response I feel uncertain that I'll get a
response.
I'm running FreeBSD on an i386. When I tried to set up XFree86, it
seemed successful. But when i tried to run startx, I got a fatal
server error.
(EE) Unable to locate/open config file
(EE) error from xf86HandleConfigFile()
I'm stumped. Can anyone tell me what to do now?
BTW, I found that someone got the same error I did
(http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-setup@linux.or.id/msg29463.html),
and his e-mail got a response too. But I can't figure out in what
language the letter or response are written. That might be my answer!
Can anyone help me with (I think) a Slavic language?
Thanks!
Rick

I (Rick Eisner - newbie) tried this install and got this message late

invalidate it now, so I'm asking for your help.
