I have tried to start X windonws using the startx command. It fails.

the error message I receive is:
warning: 'fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/font/local". Entry deleted from font path
(Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local)

xf86Openconsole: KDEABOP failed (operation not permited)

x connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown.)


I am pretty new to BSD and the Unix-like OSes, but I have installed Free BSD previous, almost a year and half ago, but removed it when I was not able to spend time to learn it. I was able to get Xwindows to work on the older version on my laptop though.
I have a LCD monitor for my laptop with a ATI Rage LT PRO 8 MB video card. I could select everything from the list correct and it appeared to go into xwindows during the setup phase of the install and said Xfree86 configured correctly. But I cannot seem to get into X windows when I am now logged in, either as root or user.
I also try to go and redo the sysinstall and it kicks me out with error saying xwindows not working. I have already typed the "mkfontdir" line and now no longer get that error, but the xwindows still dies. Please help.

KDEABO is what i think is a problem with your window manager. KDE crashes (so it looks like it ). but i am not sure about this even. maybey you could try to get an other window manager working.

The last clean install I did had Gnome as the selected desktop. I have tried to install KDE and I still get the same error.
