Used to be the log file under /var/log that was the first complaint that killed it. Anyway, does this happen if you run startx as root? Did you install Xwrapper? Have you tried xdm? Google for FreeBSD, Xwrapper, and xdm in the archives of this list for earlier this year, and you'll find explanations for it all. -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html
