Israel,

Tell us how you configured X to begin with. Did you follow the "handbook" on freebsd.org? There they tell you to use
Code:
XFree86 --configure

as root and to follow the instructions on the screen to run your test X configuration. If that doesn't work, post the last 5-10 lines of error message you get from /var/log/XFree86.0.log (or its equivalent) and your XF86Config file (use the [ code ] or [ quote ] tags to make your output readable on this forum.

We also need to know what kind of video card is in that system.

Good luck,

Dave
