Have you added additional user IDs to the system or just root? If you're logged in as root, I wouldn't rn X from that account, though it may be sfe these days, I don't kow. I'd create another userID, perhaps admin, and assign it to group wheel. This group wil allow you to su root when you need the authority. If you're logged in as a non-root user, such as admin (which doesn't exist unless yo add it), then try startx. -- System Name: laptop2.StevenFriedrich.org Hardware: 2.80GHz Intel Pentium 4 (HTT) with 2 GB memory OS version:FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE i386 (6.9 MB kernel) manager(s):kde4-4.5.1 X windows: xorg-7.5X.Org X Server 1.7.5 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
