You'll need to make sure you've installed the XFree86 package/port before trying to run startx. Once installed, you'll also need to configure it for your particular video adapter and monitor. Once all is installed and configured, THEN you can run startx. If you hit a snag in the process and need to search the archive of the mailing lists, check out http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists Good Luck! -Otter p.s. it wouldn't hurt to see if you have any BSD or Linux user groups in your area. Finding others who are familiar with it is always a Good Thing. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Rick Hamell > Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 4:55 AM > To: Brian Alberding > Cc: questions@FreeBSD.org > Subject: Re: How can I get into a Graphic userinterface? > > > > > I am confused.
