Hi,
   =20
    a quick check at http://www.freebsd.org revealed the following URL =
:-
   =20
    http://www.freebsd.org/releases/2.2.5R/errata.html
   =20
    In there it says the following :-
   =20
    A bug in XF86Setup causes it to fail to create a symbolic link from  =
/usr/X11R6/bin/X to the right X server for your hardware if a link  does =
not=20
    already exist.  When you type startx the following error is  =
displayed:  xinit: =20
    No such file or directory (errno 2):  no server "X" found in PATH =20
    Fix: Execute the following commands (as root) and re-run XF86Setup. =
# cd=20
    /usr/X11R6/bin # ln -s XF86_VGA16 X  If XF86Setup asks you if you =
want to use=20
    the existing XF86Config for defaults choose no.  When it asks you if =
you want to=20
    create an 'X' link to the server choose yes.
   =20
    Hope this helps (P.S. the search engine at http://www.freebsd.org is =
really good for this sort of thing).
