Hi, Eckart Hofmann:
Thanks for your help. I did change the value, ge, to gt in /etc/rc without
changing any value in /etc/rc.conf and X did not start. Now as the string in
/etc/rc remains as same, gt, I changed kern_securelevel="-1" in /etc/rc.conf,
it was "2" and now X starts. I don't know what's going on here but I get X
Window running now after stay up one whole night.
I appreciate your help. Thanks again.
