OK,
so this may
be a dumb question, but I just can't seem to find away around this
problem.
On a freshly build
OS (FreeBSD 4.2.6 (current stable), I built XFree86-4 (4.2.0) out of the
ports tree, and then following the directions ran "XFree86 -configure".
Its failing to find some modules called "bitmap" and "pcidata". I tried
using the -modulepath command line option to add /usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules to the XFree86 command line, but it still fails to find
these "modules" in the same manner. When I look through these lib
directories, I don't see anything called libbitmap..., so I think the modules
genuinely don't exist in those directories.
Any help getting to
the next step would be greatly appreciated.
Below is is an
example fragement of /var/log/XFree86.0.log after an attemped run of "XFree86
-configure":
