I just installed freebsd in a virtual machine (VMware). I don't think that matters but now you know. I was wanting to run XFree86 on this virtual machine so I selected what I thought was all the packages for X during the post install procedure. now that I have the machine up and running (or virtual machine that is) I don't know how to get X started. I've looked around the system and I can't find 'startx' or anything else that I was a customed to under linux. I wanted to try to ports stuff out so I decide to just do a make install from /usr/ports/x11/XFree86 but when I did I got this message: <begin messages> ===> Patching ===> Applying patches for XFree86-3.3.5 Ignoring previously applied (or reversed) patch. 1 out of 1 hunks ignored--saving rejects to lib/X11/imConv.c.rej *** Error code 1 Stop. <end messages> the last three lines repeated about 6 times. Also since to see what the message actually was so I could post it here I ran make install again so obviuosly it didn't run back through retrieval or extraction of the tarball. well what am I doing wrong and how do I get X started?
