Fred,
From man startx(1):
SEE ALSO
xinit(1), X(7), Xserver(1), Xorg(1), xorg.conf(5)
Try:
# whereis X
If X is installed, it should return:
# X: /usr/local/bin/X
pkg_which if X is installed should return:
# pkg_which /usr/local/bin/X
xorg-server-1.7.5,1
If it doesn't, then the full X server isn't installed:
Try:
# whereis xorg
xorg: /usr/ports/x11/xorg
If xorg isn't installed, cd to:
/usr/ports/x11/xorg
and
make config-recursive (If you add any options, run make
config-recursive a second time after the shell prompt returns)
and then
make install clean
HTH
