    freebsd-newbies is not the right list to ask these questions. Our
    purpose here is more for "chatting" and discussion.

    If I were you, I would join the freebsd-kde or freebsd-gnome lists to
    ask about installing KDE or GNOME. But you will need to provide more
    information. It's nice knowing what graphic card you have, but also of
    importance is how you're trying to install the software, and what error
    messages you are receiving.

    Get your X server working first before you move on to KDE or GNOME. The
    FreeBSD Handbook and FAQ has some very good information on setting up
    XFree86.
