How to start xfree86 within FreeBSD

[deviant]

Hi,

I am quite a newbie within FreeBSD.

Still, I thought that starting Xfree86 works by typing 'startx'.
But, it doesn't work, darnit.

Anyone?

Hmm, I haven't configure FreeBSD for GUI since Feburary. I seem to have forgotten.

No different there then anywhere else. startx.

Do you get any errors when attempting to startx?

No, it doesn't do anything, so I am now even thinking that is might not be installed ...

I am looking in the 'handbook' now.
Let's hope I can get XFree86 installed.

It doesn't install by default. Just do the ports thang. Gotta love FreeBSD for that one. Well, that and make world.
