Does "currently running" mean you've been using it happily without X for a while, or are you just trying to get it installed and configured and would lose nothing by blowing it away and starting over? The reason I ask is that FreeBSD 4.5 was released with XFree86 4.1.0 because 4.2.0 was released within the same week. http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/Status30.html#30 says that 4.2.0 supports the SiS620, but I don't know about 4.1.0. I'm just thinking that it might be quicker and easier to start over, install FreeBSD with no X at all, then grab the 4.2.0 binaries kit from ftp.xfree86.org and install that. Anybody else know about 4.2.0 and the SiS620? > I'm trying to setup XFree86 along > with KDE as a desktop manager.
