All,
I bought the FreeBSD Power Pack and installed a 3.2 generic system. When I 
did this I opted to make Gnome my main overlay (not sure the correct term for 
this). I use KDE in Linux so I thought this would be a great chance to use 
the competition..so to say. Well if I use startx the system comes up into 
what looks like Aftersomething (not sure, never used this before). If I type 
gnome-session from the command line I get the following error:

gtk-warning **: cannot open display


X Windows starts and runs just fine, so I'm confused as to what the problem 
could be. My system is as follows:

Dell
P3-500 BX
128mb
ATI Rage Pro
Xfree 3.1.1.1
  

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
