I am getting login prompt and able to issue all the commands. But I am unable to start X-Windows. If I try "startx" command it is giving Error No.2 on Init with a message " "X" Not found in PATH" and some more description. I looked at PATH it has got /usr/X11R6/bin in its path. My monitor type is Sony ES100. Another problem is it is not recognizing CDROM Drive ( I have got Mitsumi 24X CDROM Drive. So I assume FreeBSD doesn't have proper Device Driver software.) Could someone help me in this regard Thank you very much in advance, Regards, Madhu Pinnu pinnu@megsinet.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
