X in FreeBSD needs Linux-start

[Thorsten von Plotho-Kettner]

Hello,

a funny thing I mention: My FreeBSD-Box (first 4.9, now 5.2.1) boots up to the 
login-prompt. Then, after typing ´startx´ (default=waimea) nothing is going on, the 
HD´s LED is blinking and then the machine is sleeping until I press strg+c. If I want 
to start xfce4 by typing ´startxfce4´, all is done, but the net-services in xfce4 are 
sleeping aswell.

No, the wonder in my story, if I start Mandrake-Linux first, reboot the box and start 
FreeBSD again, all things are wonderful and I can login to X (waimea) and do my daily 
work.

This is not the way I want to go in nearest future, I want to check out the failure 
and workaround it. Google had no informations for me, so I have to ask here.

Thanks and regards,

Thorsten
