Use startx. Don't run xinit directly. This has never been supported though it often works 2. Re-install wrappers. You need to do this whenever the X server changes. If you have portupgrade, simply 'portupgrade -f wrapper'. If not, 'cd /usr/ports/x11/wrapper; make deinstall && make reinstall' > Second, my Xircom pccard ethernet/modem is not being recognized correctly: > > Jul 3 19:34:40 blink /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 > Jul 3 19:34:46 blink pccardd[48]: Card "Xircom"("16-bit Ethernet + Modem 56") [REM10] [1.00] matched "Xircom" ("16-bit Ethernet + Modem 56") [(null)] [(null)] > Jul 3 19:34:51 blink pccardd[48]: driver allocation failed for Xircom(16-bit Ethernet + Modem 56): Device not configured > > Is there some configuration that has to be done here?

Try adding the line machdep.pccard.mem_start=0xd0000 to /boot/loader.conf. See Scott Mitchell's response to the same question on freebsd-mobile on June 16.
