I am new to the FreeBSD "enviroment", and am only 15 at the time so
forgive me if I sound kind of "out of it" right now. I recently
installed FreeBSD 2.2.6 on my laptop (Toshiba 430CDS) and am having
trouble running X-Windows. When X-Windows comes up, it seems like an
older version. When I ran RedHat Linux 4.2, my X-Windows background was
green and it had a start menu, etc., etc. However, my FreeBSD X-Windows
is grey, has no start menu, and the colors are different. The X-Term
windows is actually white! In X-Windows configuration, I have selected
the right graphics card, screen resolution, and everything is correct,
but when I startx it looks the same. I installed FreeBSD from a
CD-ROM. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out what the
problem is?
Thanks,
John.
