I just installed FBSD 2.2.1-Stable from the CD. I have never had a
problem starting X with previous versions of the OS. Now for the life of
me I can't seem to get X up and running. I ran xf86config and specified
everything the same way I did before. When I try to start Xwindows, I see
a momentary flash of what looks like a root window, the screen goes blank,
and then I'm returned to the command prompt. I sure would appreciate
it if someone can help me out!
Here is what the messages are when I type startx:

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
