>Description:


Chapter 2.9.12 of the Handbook covers configuring an X server from sysinstall.  It doesn't have instructions in reguards to FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE or X.org.  Chapter 5 is a much better resource for those attempting to configure X


>How-To-Repeat:


Read handbook section 2.9.12 and compare to section 5
