    If gnome is installed and configured , all you need is #startx or #gdm
    If gdm doesn’t give you gnome login screen but instead gives you an X
    error....
    You need to edit the file XF86Config (usualy /etc/X11/XF86Config)
    Or use one of the Xconfigurators (try /stand/sysinstall on the post config
    menu)

    If the config is good ..... maybe you should try to install gnome again?
    #cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/gnome2
    #make install clean

    Hope this helps :)

    hi

    i've just installed freebsd on my home computer... i known to linux but i
    really have no clue how to run freebsd with gnome... i've chosen it in the
    installation menue but when i boot free bsd theres still the command line...

    perhaps i'm asking a little too much of you guys... it would also help me
    if you knew a good website where i can view a tutorial how to run bsd in
    graphics mode...

    thank you very much....

    yours bijan
