Hello,

a funny thing I mention: My FreeBSD-Box (first 4.9, now 5.2.1) boots up to =
the login-prompt. Then, after typing =B4startx=B4 (default=3Dwaimea) nothin=
g is going on, the HD=B4s LED is blinking and then the machine is sleeping =
until I press strg+c. If I want to start xfce4 by typing =B4startxfce4=B4, =
all is done, but the net-services in xfce4 are sleeping aswell.

No, the wonder in my story, if I start Mandrake-Linux first, reboot the box=
 and start FreeBSD again, all things are wonderful and I can login to X (wa=
imea) and do my daily work.

This is not the way I want to go in nearest future, I want to check out the=
 failure and workaround it. Google had no informations for me, so I have to=
 ask here.

Thanks and regards,

Thorsten
