after it installed, after package selection i choose gnome2, kde4 and
x window system based utilities, i choose xorg-7.5 then i put x, y
others packages are in D, is it correct? y handbook i don't see ,
there only seen install generic, my conexion is very slowly...i can't
use cd /usr/ports/.../xorg make install clean
i add in /etc/rc.conf, echo 'gnome_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf,
also, echo 'hald_enable="YES"', echo 'dbus_enable="YES"', also i put
echo exec gnome-sesion >> .xinitrc, :(, when i started startx, the
message is:
exec gnome-session: not found
waiting for x server to shut down failed to unset mtrr: Device not configured
xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "edgar.localhost:0" in "remove" command

Edgar,

If you want to use gnome, you might want to check the following:

http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q1

Check to see that gnome-session is present, type
$ which gnome-session

if you get message not found then, you did not install it? You might
want to use kde?
Check this page:

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Antonio
