    I am new to FreeBSD. I am giving it a hard look because I do not like the
    the direction that Red Hat is taking and I must find a replacement for my
    server, www.dallypost.com.

    My first install went pretty good but I have a few problems.

    1. When I startx, x starts properly the first time. When I shut down x
    with ctrl/alt backspace, I get: waiting for X server to shut down xterm:
    fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0"
    xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server ":0.0" If
    I attempt to restart x I get a flickering effect that makes the entire
    screen kind of sparkle.

    I installed FreeBSD with gnome, but it does not start when I startx. How
    can I make startx boot into gnome?

    Thank you for any help.
