Did you install X? Did you configure X? You can test X from the
command line with '/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon'.
If X is installed and configured, the currently recommended method of
starting X is to do it in rc.local. Add:
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm ] ; then
# need to cleanup first.
if [ -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-pid ] ; then
rm -f /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-pid
fi
# now, we can start it.
echo "xdm"; /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm
fi
You also need to have one ttyv? off. Most of the entries for ttyv?
read:
ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
# Virtual terminals
ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
...
Change one of them to read:
ttyv5 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure
This example shows using ttyv5. Normally, people use the last one,
whatever it is.
