[-- Attachment #1 --] hi, i just installed freebsd for the first time and i cant get to start x and a window manager like gnome. Im a newbie on this and want your help. The handbook says in order to start x by typing startx, you have to install wrapper. I dont know how to install wrapper and couldn't find it. As an alternative it says you can start by xdm. I have configured the monitor,card etc thing and started xdm. It gives a login windows and when i enter the root login, screen disappears and comes back with the same login screen. As i tried by a normal account other than root , it did the same thing. Soif i have to install wrapper please tell me or show me the link in handbook or etc. Or please help me with xdm. thanks for all you work and help [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-9"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2716.2200" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hi,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i just installed freebsd for the first time and i cant get to start x and a window manager like gnome.
