Dear Sir,

As always your help is very valuable and I have got it working.  I
applied your strategies
I corrected the cuse4bsd_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf and I
installed pcmview which
was the one which detects the document viewer.  I cannot get cheese to work but
I can manage with pcmview.  See below for what I did to check

cuse4bsd_load="YES"

is in /boot/loader.conf

===> NOTICE:

The aalib port currently does not have a maintainer. As a result, it is

more likely to have unresolved issues, not be up-to-date, or even be removed in

the future. To volunteer to maintain this port, please create an issue at:

Your SDL library has been built with libvgl support, which means that you

can run almost any SDL application straight on your console (VESA 2.0

compatible videocard is required).

To do this you have to load the vesa kernel module or enable it in your

kernel, and set environment variable "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=vgl".

I shall try again to make cheese work, but for now it is one that
should work, or try kamerka again.
