Hi David. The command is "startx". But first you've got to create a file called .xinitr in your home directory (/home/yourusername). in that file you must have a line related to what windowmaneger you wich to start (kde, windowmaker, afterstep, etc, etc...) Exemples: If you want to starx windowmaker put the following line in your .xinitrc: exec wmaker For kde: exec startkde For afterstep: exec afterstep and so on for other window managers... Of course that you have to install your window manager first (become root and connect yourself to the internet): #cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/yourwindowmanager #make install Suposing that you have install the "X-window system" when you installed FreeBSD and after that you run xf86config to configure it. (If you are a trully newbie and you talk portuguese visit my page: http://dleal.webvolution.net, may be it can help you in other things) PS: Don't you forget to write the subject of your email when sending to freebsd-questions, it is very important. --On Saturday, March 10, 2001 13:58:12 -0100 David Sousa Mendes <david@angra.uac.pt> wrote: > Hello > I've just installed freeBSD for the first time. > When it boots, it asks for login and password and enters in command prompt > mode. > What's the command I have do put to enter in X-windows mode ? > Cheers > David > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
