Looks like someone else had a similar situation. I found this @ http://www.freebsd.org/search DONT give up I think you'll find FreeBSD is alot more than you expected ! :-) > Hello, I am having problems getting Xterm to run.

I am using the display :0.0, but have also tried :0 > and `hostname`:0.0. I have never been able to run Xterm or any Xwindows > applications. I am using FreeBSD 2.2.2. It looks to me as if you haven't started X yet. Don't start xterm, start 'startx' or 'xinit'. If you haven't set up a window manager, the screen will look a bit funny, but it *will* give you an xterm for free. Look at the man pages X(1), startx(1), and xinit(1). You will also need to choose a window manager--see ctwm(1), fvwm(1), twm(1), and fvwm95-2(1). Some of these may be in the ports collection.
