Okay.  So I've been pestering the group lately.  Sorry, I've been out of
the loop for a while.

I've gotten -current up and running stabily (as far as I know) now and
I've been having troubles configuring XFree.  I'm getting an error
similiar but not identical to:

<error msg>
XIO: error 32 and something about mode and :0 and something else about
     the server.

I have xmd running on bootup and the Xconfig exists with all of it's glory
intact.  But when I do 'startx' it finds the mouse and then complains about
the display/mode and exits on an error.

Any ideas?
