I am a brand new user to BSD with limited Unix experience. I have the following problems after installation and would appreciate any help. I will list problems in order of importance: 1) After making BSD boot xdm, I enter my login and get a staticy screeen flash and am bumped back to the xdm login screen.I get a getty error in the message screen saying ( paused for 30 seconds) I cannot get a command promtp to edit or remove anything. 2) I can only get X to execute the xinit when I am logged in as root. Everyone else gets cannot find xinit error. 3) How do I run X applications assuming I get X working. 4) How can I change X windows settings such as color which is not in XFCONFIG configuration file. I will stop here and hope someone can help. Thanks in advance. Please reply to johnsant@mindspring.com
