I connect to my FreeBSD system from a PowerBook and was wondering (mostly for fun) if I can run Gnome2 or KDE or something within a Terminal connection on my PowerBook. I can manage my FreeBSD system fine from a CLI but thought it would be fun to run Gnome or KDE. Is what I am mentioning even feasible? Right now after following the handbook for installing gnome2 (5.7.1.2 Installing GNOME) I startx and get an error Fatal server error: xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O. If I am just loony let me know otherwise if what I am trying to do is feasible I will ask the gnome mailing list.
