Hi,

First off, I'm sending this mail to freebsd-questions again so other
people can help you.

As other people suggested, the better option is reading the excelent
FreeBSD documentation that you can find at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/

There you will find topics about installing, configuring and tuning
your FreeBSD system.

And of course, here we are to help you.

If you installed X Window and all the stuff, why is startx not
working? is the command found? does the X server try to start but if
fails?

Cheers
