There's a little program on KDE-Apps that we can maybe use or work together
with the developer: New kX
Generator<http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=39085>

**
*Description:
*kX Generator is a utilitty to configure the X server by modyfying X
configuration file.
This release (0.3) is a preview release. Of course it works and (as far as I
know) don't have any bugs. C
onfiguration file should work. I've rewritten from scratch whole app.

This is a great idea! We'll have to see if it can be ported over to 
PC-BSD :)

Actually I know what that problem is, its an issue with libtool under 
FreeBSD, KBFX had the same issue :) I can try compiling it here to see 
how it works!

I also had this issue once. It helped to replace the libtool in the 
extracted tar directory with the one from ports:
install libtool from ports, then:
# find . -name libtool
cd to that directory, then:
# cp /usr/local/bin/libtool .

I hope this helps.

Bingo! Thats what I had to do here as well, I just copied libtool to the 
local programs compile directory, and it worked fine :)

[Kris M. - PC-B. S. <kr...@pc...>]

Humm, well I got it working here. I just extracted files, ran 
"./configure" then copied /usr/local/bin/libtool to "." and then ran 
make. It created just fine, and when I ran make install, it installed 
into /usr/local/kde/, which I moved the files into /usr/local instead. 
It then ran just fine, and works "kinda". It needs some porting work to 
have it run properly under BSD, since its looking for the wrong devices 
and such. But it looks very nice and clean :)

This bug have nothing nothing in common with lack of unicode in base system.
