 Do you have the drivers for your graphics card installed?  What type
 of graphics card is this?

 My laptop is HP Pavilion tx2510us
 and uses the graphics card ATI Radeon(TM) HD 3200 Graphics
 everything works expect even when the terminal does come up
 it gives this error
 xauth: (argv):1: bad display name replay.free-bsd.net:0 in remove command

 ideas?


Please don't only reply to me, if your initial question was towards
the list -- someone else may see something I'm missing.

You never answered my initial question.  Are the proper xorg drivers
for your graphics card installed?  I ask again, because I've seen
several situations where non-existent or incorrect graphics drivers
make X do bad/odd things when exiting -- I've experienced this
situation myself.

I know nothing about ATI, other than it doesn't play well with any of
the OSes I use, so I don't buy it.

 I'm not sure, when I first installed FreeBSD X -configure did everything
 in KInfoCenter the X-Server seems to be ok
 maybe since its snapshot version of FreeBSD the graphics drivers are
 in testing?


What driver does /etc/X11/xorg.conf have listed for your graphics driver?

** Forgot to CC the list, in case anyone is actually watching this thread.**



 Theirs nothing in the /etc/X11 folder or a xorg.conf file, I think Xorg
 automatically did everything


Well, if you say you ran 'X -configure', it should've created an
xorg.conf file.  If you ran it as root (which you almost probably had
to), check in /root

From what you've told me before, I can pretty well guess that you
don't have your necessary Xorg drivers installed for your graphics
card.  I suggest reading the manual on how to resolve this -- but
don't expect miracles as far as ATI goes.

If you don't know how to manage Xorg, I doubt you should be running -CURRENT.

Trouble Shutting down

I'm using FreeBSD amd64  8-0-Current

I set up window maker to start by startx command,
but when I exit the window maker the screen just turns
black nothing works so I'm force to unplug the power each
time. This happens sometimes other times the terminal
shows up and I can shutdown manually. Since I'm using
