Just to repeat. I installed FreeBSD 6.3, its a new Toshiba notebook. I
chose to install X Windows during sysinstall. The very first time I
ran startx it didnt work. Then I did the "Xorg -configure" and tried
again, and still doesnt work. Please help !!!!
startx is lame. most ppl apparently use either KDE or gnome. i used
to use xfce4 that was started with the command "starxfce4" but i ended
up being pursuaded out of it because i couldn't do flash and multimedia
plugins. have you tried running the following command at the
root prompt:
#pkg_add -r gnome2
i think that is what i used.
here is a webpage for gnome:
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/
have you familiarized yourself with the freeBSD pkg_add pkg_delete
and ports systems /usr/ports ? the -r directive means that it goes
out to the web to find things to install and at the same time installs
it. really easy. for the ports system
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html
you merely figure out what port you want.. do a command something
like (as root)
#cd /usr/ports/path/to/a/kewl/app
and then
#make install clean
the ports system figures out all the dependencies.. also there is a
kewl thing called "portsnap" that updates the ports directories

Thanks
