Still no graphic desktop

[Lloyd Hayes]

I have been told that the reason that I don't have a graphic desktop yet 
is because my XFree86 Server is not configured right. I finally 
downloaded the exact specs on my old laptop from Gateway and plugged 
them into the configure file. No help.
I tried each of the 4 configure methods from the menu. No good, nor does 
the graphics menu work any more.
I have attempted to switch from KDE to Gnome, to Windowmaker. Again, no 
good.
I have tried several other things such as the one below:

# cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
# make install clean

It then suggests that I 'make reinstall' or 'make deinstall'. I tried 
reinstall first with it then suggesting that I 'make reinstall' again or 
'make deinstall'.

# make deinstall

# cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
# make install clean

While this seemed to install ok, it was still no help. I'm still stuck 
with line item commands.

When executing afterwards: XFree86 -configure  
I get: Fatal Server Error
xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O

Log says the same thing.

Any ideas?
