I think there's an option in /stand/sysinstall under the configuration option. But I'm not infront of my machine right now, so I can't verify it. XF86Setup (if it's installed) is a graphical configuration utility, and is probably the easier of the two to use. xf86config is a text based program. Now, as you may or may not know. The default X config is a boring looking twm configuration. If you'd like one of the newer, snazzier window managers (desktops) for X, you'll want to install them either from /usr/ports/, or you can go into /stand/sysinstall, go to Configure, and choose "Desktop". It gives you a list of window managers to install. Hope this helps. -Chris P.S.
