When I type "startx" xorg starts and xterm shows up and freezes. I want to be able to use gnome, but I can't quite remember the directory structure to the files I need to edit. The last time I played around with Freebsd was after the second release, so its been a while for me. Can someone help me with where the files are that I need to edit so xorg and gnome will come up when I start the system. Thanks Harold
