Has everyone tried FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE? I'm having trouble installing FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on this machine (Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, G.SKILL 4GB of RAM, Seagate 740GB HDD in Intel RAID 0, XFX GeForce 7600 GT). The problem is that when I created the xinitrc file to start KDE GUI and configured my hardware through xorgcfg -textmode. Then it said it is not able to connect x server. So I tried this command:

They are installed. I just did what I've been installing 5.4 to 6.1. Or am I missing something that 6.2 has changed? Anybody here know how I can solve the problem?

Thanks for your time!

Can you try to run "startx" and then "startkde" and let us know what are the messages ( if any ) ? Please post parts of the xorg.conf file, it may be helpful. Currently a colleague of mine is running into the same problem, and we both trying to figure this out also ( FreeBSD6.2 installed on VMWare)

Thanks for the reply!

I decided to re-install FreeBSD last night, and it finally worked! Kinda weird.

I'm having the same problem and I'm going to try re-installing tomorrow.

Hello !
About that, are u trying to startx or startkde on your freebsd 6.2 and u get an error msg ?
If u do, i kinda run into it my self, i can not give u the error msg cause i don't remember it, -sorry about that-.

Again if that is the only problem that u are dealing with this might help.
Steps that solved my specific problem :
i executed a "locate startx" and then i tried starting the graphical env by giving the whole path of startx command. e.g "/usr/X11R6/...startx"
