You will find a different approach on the Open Slate wiki at

<http://wiki.openslate.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Operating_System:Installing_Gnome_on_the_Fujitsu_T1010_tablet_PC&oldid=226>

This should get you a Gnome desktop. FreeBSD has other GUI options, like
KDE, and some people prefer leaner, less resource hungry window
managers. I suggest you start with Gnome, then when you are comfortable,
experiment with others. You can always come back to Gnome!
