Hi,

I am having some problems to install my FreeBSD and XFree86 system.

I bought the Walnut Creek CD-Rom  with FreeBSD 2.1. I made the 
installation and I discovered that I had problems with my mouse
PS/2 and my CD Rom Mitsumi FX 600 ATAPI. A managed to make the 
installation from the hard disk and I reconfigured the Kernel 
including the Mouse "psm0  etc etc etc ... ".

Now I want to try the X windows system, so I configured the
XF86config file. When I ran startx it gets completely blocked the system
but when I ran xdm, by some magic thing as soon as I get the login
interface I press Ctrl-C and it works, but when I login, I get a nice
xterm but without the frame that allows to operate it with the mouse.
I do not know how the system looks when it is correctly installed 
but I am sure it is better that what I have in my screen. 

I was thinking that my problem was the setup in the .xsession file,
then I made a very simple one, because I could not find the one in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit or something like this. Could anybody send
my an example of his .xsession file? and perhaps a clue of what's
going on in my system, because I think I am going to give up about
installing FreeBSD.

Thanks,

Juan
