It loooks like you haven't got: /usr/X11R6/bin/X which is a symbolic link to the X server for your machine. It's set up after when you set up X11. The other messages are saying that some process (likely your window manager) couldn't find a server. That's because one wasn't running because of the first problem. It looks like you don't actually have X11 running. Did you run XF86Setup? - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
