You still haven't defined by what you mean with 'no GUI appears'. Does X not start? Do you get no video at all? Some notes: 1) 5.2 is _ancient_ by amd64 standards (other standards as well). Please use a recent release like 5.4 or get the 6.0 release candidate, since it is said to be quite an improvement over 5.4 in a lot of areas. 2) Take a look at the motherboard compatibility page http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html ; you see that there are tricks related to getting it to boot at all, and that the on-board video is poorly supported by X. -- These are your friends - Adem GPG: FEA2 A3FE Adriaan de Groot
