Not totally unheard of. I first tried FreeBSD with 3.2 from a CD purchased from LinuxMall (six distros for six dollars, I couldn't resist). Unfortunately, the CD had a bad package index, forcing me to use ports to compile *everything* from scratch. Then the official FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE had a sysinstall bug that they quickly fixed, but I was still stuck with it :-( However, I don't think the problem is a faulty distribution. Probably just a bad configuration somewhere. Can you run other X window managers? Will twm start if you get rid of your .xinitrc? Did you have problems configuring X with XF86Setup or xf86config?
