[afnog] X Windows

[Bruno Agbessitse]

Hi,

I not a guru but have a similar problem on Linux last time.
I have to use this command first:
#service xfs start
Then follow with 
#startx
And it worked for me. I don’t know whether FreeBSD has something like that
but you can try it.

Thanx

Hi all,
I'm a relatively new FreeBSD user. I recently reinstalled FreeBSD 5.3 on my
box (in the spirit of adventurous learning) and I can't seem to get x
windows running again. Here is a sample of what I get...

bash-2.05b# startx
