>Description:
When I install Free BSD from cdrom, I cannot enter graphical mode to configure XFree86. I can in text mode,however.
Unfortunately, I still cannot "startx" after install. I continually get the error messages- "(EE) screen(s) found but cannot use" - "cannot connect to X server"-etc.
Please Help!! I'm beginning to think that the media is corrupt. That stinks! I just bought this software from CompUSA.
