I just did an install of xf86 3.3.3.1 on a freebsd 2.2.8 box (using ports) I'm building but I am having a problem getting X to open . the box is a celeron 300A with BH6 MBO and 32 mgs of memory . when I first ran the set up program for xf86 it said I needed tk 4.3 or 8.0 and tcl80. Which I loaded and then i ran XF86setup. I got the xserver running configured the monitor and saved the configuration(yeah, for me.) But when I ran startx it came back with can't find twm, xclock or xterm and returned me to the prompt( at least I think it's a prompt) I think that x is working partially cause I have a mouse cursor that works( but I am not sure how to proceed.) i did a locate and found the file s that it can't find in /usr/X11R6/bin so my question are/ How do I change x to make it find the files ? add to a search path? Is there a rc file I need to edit do i have to reinstall? can someone direct me to instructions on how to automate the starting of x and getting a WM working.
