I recently installed FreeBSD 2.2.6 on my laptop (Toshiba 430CDS) and am having trouble running X-Windows. When X-Windows comes up, it seems like an older version. When I ran RedHat Linux 4.2, my X-Windows background was green and it had a start menu, etc., etc. However, my FreeBSD X-Windows is grey, has no start menu, and the colors are different. The X-Term windows is actually white! In X-Windows configuration, I have selected the right graphics card, screen resolution, and everything is correct, but when I startx it looks the same. I installed FreeBSD from a CD-ROM. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out what the problem is? Thanks, John.
