Hi,

I've just upgraded my system to -current. I've also uninstalled XFree86 and installed X.Org by following the HEADSUP http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-July/032267.html

Now when I launch startx I get the fatal error:
xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O

I've checked /dev/io and it does not exist.

I've read it could be caused by my securelevel but it is set to -1.
I've also read that with XFree86 we had to install /usr/ports/x11/wrapper for that, but what to do with X.Org?

TIA
