Dear, FreeBSD team.

I have purchased FreeBSD 2.2.5 from Walnut Creek,

I have installed to my computer, (PII/300 64 MB, Matrox Mellenium = 2 MB,=20 HD 4.2 GB) and successful.

I want to run X Window and I already configure the XFREE,=20 /stand/sysinstall.

After that I run startx—Cannot find server, server = available=20 XF86_SVGA, and so on.

Can you tell me what should I do about this problem?

Thanks a lot….

Regards,

NurHadi
