    I just installed FreeBSD on my computer.
    It is working fine and I can get to the shell and do everything execept
    go to
    the X window. I typed in syinstall and went to the graphical
    configuaration
    for the X window system and typed in all the moniter and graphics card
    paramiters and every thing else but when I finished it said
    The X Window configuration seems to have failed
    would you like to try again
    I have a GeForce4 MX 420 and a CTX moniter
    Please send any ideas you have on what the problem is to
    tyrel@windstormgroup.com thank you for your time and help
