Hi there,
	I recently installed FreeBSD on my computer. It kind of worked. 
But I have trouble to make my X windows work. I have a partition of WinNT 
on my disk, my monitor is a cheap Daewoo, a trdent video card and a 
logitech mouse. I tried to install it from packages, it didn't work. Then 
I tried to compile it from ports collection, I got a long list of errors 
scrolled over my monitor before I could see what went wrong. Can anyone 
point out a solution to my problem? I am still in the process of getting 
familiar with FreeBSD.
