If you have the bandwidth and the time, you might want to download a
more recent version of the software.  FreeBsd.org has .iso images
available - just download the image, burn it to a CD, and you're ready
to roll.  I bought the book and then went and downloaded the latest
code.

You can of course also run updates to get the latest source (cvsup).
It's not hard.

You'll definitely want to upgrade to a more recent release of FreeBSD
if this machine's going to be exposed to the internet - they've made a
lot of security enhancements since 4.0.

FreeBSD  4.0  is  definitely running XFree86 3 (3.1.1?).  I think they
only upgraded to 4 in the most recent release.

Reminds me of one of my favorite unix quotes:  X Windows.  The problem
for your problem.
