Launch a terminal,like dos prompt,su to root,and enter "touch .xinitrc" , while you are there you might type "touch .xsession" as well. after that edit the file: /etc/tty's ,you only have to change off in on on line 8 (tty8...) Effect is you get a ugly xdm login screen after reboot and you have at least something to read the online Handbook with at www.freebsd.org,for a fair start and further configuration examples. Have fun,don't forget nothing is what it seems :-)
