I take it you're running either 3.0 or 3.1, from the X11R6 directory you cited. If you got the XFree86 distribution from the cdrom (like me) then it does have the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config directory, and it has 73 files in it. Both imake and xmkmf exist in ./X11R6/bin. If you don't have them, I'd reload the X stuff again from freebsd.cdrom.com. You can't make programs with X without xmkmf and imake, and they're really nice things to have. Chuckr : Any help would be greatly appreciated.
