Hi,
 
I'm new to FreeBSD, in general, I'm new to linux/unix world, though I'll consider myself as a veteran of Windows.
Anyway, I have a problem making X work.  Please tell me if I made something wrong.
 
My machine is an old IBM PC-100 486DX100 with built-in Cirrus Logix 5430 1MB video.
 
I have these several questions:
 
1. When I execute XF86Setup, I can see graphics, make my mouse and keyboard work, choose the CL543x chipset, uses a paper white 14" monitor.  But when I execute startx, it doesn't get me into a graphical mode and instead gives me an error which I can't read coz its way above the screen and scrolls off.
 
2. During installation, I installed KDE but how do I load this during startup?
 
3. How can I get back to the installation screen where I choose options for installation?
 
Well, added to the above, what I would like my box to do is make it a web server, an internet gateway to my LAN, an email server, an FTP server, File server, Print server (HP1100), etc.
 
Hope anybody out there can help me out.
 
Jojo W.
