Another possibility is that you need to install the /usr/ports/x11/wrapper port so that you can "startx" from the command line. (Although, the version 4.0.2 advice sounds more likely. I don't think that not installing wrapper should cause your system to freeze.) If you haven't already done this, Marianne, you can (as root) change to /usr/ports/x11/wrapper and do a "make install clean". Then try "startx" again. Even if the problem turns out to be the version of X you're running, you should still do this if you intend to run X using startx rather than xdm. M.
