I can't get X-Windows started! I'm quite used to this in Linux, but I don't know how to do it in BSD. XFree86 is the same everywhere :) In fact i used Linux and FreeBSD on the same machine and it has identical XF86Config file. Try SuperProbe and xinit and XF86Config and xf86config, etc Imre PS Be aware the these days are X 4.x and 3.3.x in the circulation but their config file format is different.
