Try 'startx'. Also, you can get a snazzy graphical login screen if you enable (change 'off' to 'on') the xdm line in your /etc/ttys file. Beware that your users need executable .xsession files in their accounts for xdm to work. .xsession fires up your window manager. Mine just says 'exec startkde' because I'm using the KDE window manager. shawn rusin wrote: > this is going to probably going to sound stupid but how do i get into > the xwindows server from the freebsd command prompt after entering my > login and pass any help you could provide would be appreciated thanks -- PETER SCHWENK | Campus IT Associate 3 Department of Mathematical Sciences | University of Delaware schwenk@math.udel.edu | (302)831-0437 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
