   I saw two options:

1.- Install XFree86 but select a vesa driver. In
/install/sysinstall you have to select text mode setup
to be able to select the vesa driver and the rest of
the drivers and resolution.

   Cons:
   Maybe the resolution is not very good. Take a look
at VideoRam parameter.

   Pro:
   Is the best option in the short time to be able to
get XFree86 working right now.

2.- Install XFree86 from cvs. That carry out version
2.4.99.2 and is working like a charm.
   make World
   make install

   Cons:
   You will need to create a Makefile (include
ports.mk, or something like that) to register that
application in FreeBSD.
   Because the installation process is generic and
doesn't include the procedure to create the entry in
/var/db/pkg for registration process.
   If you give the command pkg_info you will find that
XFree86 is not registered. And if another program need
it, you will receive a message about a requiered
program is not installed.

   Right now I'm working in the process to create this
file. I'm using FreeBSD 4.7 too.

3.- Wait for the release of XFree86 4.3
   I don't know the estimated release date.

bye
