    Friends,

              I have tried to install Freebsd on my laptop at least twelve times, the only problem I encounter is with xfree86. here is a quick rundown of the scenario: everything goes as planned until I reboot, then type startx and each time I get the same error message (xfree86 crashed) well, not in those exact words but you get the message. I have read as much documentation as I could as far as Freebsd and the x-window-system are concerned. here are the specs on the laptop I desperatly want to install Freebsd on:

                                          IBM T21.
                                          2647-8BU
                                          Generic flatpanel LCD monitor 1024 X 768
                                          8 MB video memory
                                          Savage IX driver <(BSD detects this)
                                          TFT-active matrix
                                           14.1 in.

             Please, If someone could just email me a little more information on how to set the specifications for X on my model I would greatly appreciate it.

                                                                                          Thank you for producing FREEBSD! ajaxmunroe@yahoo.com
