I run a freebsd-usually-current system. Recently I thought I'd give X a shot and went into /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 and did a 'make install'. Everything proceded well and installed properly (ie without error). The docs mumbled something about adding a call to /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs and /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm. So I build an X.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d so that they get called at boot up time. All is well so far. My big question comes in... what next? Nothing amazing seems to happen. Screen flickers briefly when xdm is called. How do I get the windowing environment? I know lots of people have it running and have the sneaky suspicion I'm missing something silly. All advice appreciated (and needed :). -Steve
