You need to edit the file XF86Config (usualy /etc/X11/XF86Config) Or use one of the Xconfigurators (try /stand/sysinstall on the post = config menu) If the config is good ..... maybe you should try to install gnome again? #cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/gnome2 #make install clean Hope this helps :) Ron Ganzer -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Bijan Rahnema Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 4:05 PM To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.org Subject: how can i run gnome on freebsd *This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) = Pro* hi i've just installed freebsd on my home computer... i known to linux but = i=20 really have no clue how to run freebsd with gnome... i've chosen it in = the=20 installation menue but when i boot free bsd theres still the command = line... perhaps i'm asking a little too much of you guys... it would also help = me=20 if you knew a good website where i can view a tutorial how to run bsd in = graphics mode... thank you very much.... yours bijan _______________________________________________ freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-newbies To unsubscribe, send any mail to = "freebsd-newbies-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
