The 'startx' problem is solved in the follwoing way. When I was trying to 'startx', it called a linx 'X' in /usr/X11R6/bin. It was pointed to XFree86. I changed it to XF86_SVGA. And the 'chmod u+s X' and 'chmod u+s XF86_SVG' Now any user is able to 'startx' Regards, Shantanu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
