As a general note, questions about basic use of FreeBSD should be
directed to questions@freebsd.org, *not* to the stable mailing list.

Try running 'startx' or 'xinit'. Either one will help you greatly, and
will give you a default environment that is more workable than just
running the X server. If X works reliably when running either startx or
xinit, you should consider using the X Display Manager, or xdm.
