I have run into some problems and am not sure where to post my question. I am running FreeBSD 5.2 i386 and am having some problems getting gnome to work. I have searched through the handbook and several other text books but am still stuck. When I am logged in as root X11 and gnome start fine when I type 'startx', when I am logged in as a normal user I type 'startx' and only X11 starts. I have followed the instructions in the handbook and modified /root/.xsession. any help or direction to other resources would be great. Thanks Brett _________________________________________________________________ Get a Credit Card - 60 sec online response: http://ad.au.doubleclick.net/clk;8097459;9106288;b?http://www.anz.com/aus/promo/qantas5000ninemsn [AU only]
