I am new to FreeBSD. I am giving it a hard look because I do not like the the direction that Red Hat is taking and I must find a replacement for my server, www.dallypost.com. My first install went pretty good but I have a few problems. 1. When I startx, x starts properly the first time. When I shut down x with ctrl/alt backspace, I get: waiting for X server to shut down xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0" xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0" If I attempt to restart x I get a flickering effect that makes the entire screen kind of sparkle. I installed FreeBSD with gnome, but it does not start when I startx. How can I make startx boot into gnome? Thank you for any help. Lance Earl DallyPost, Inc. 208-548-2721
