It is resolved by using 'portmanager x11/xorg -f'. However, now I have another
problem regarding starting X. It is an 'unable to connect to X server' error.

I can only start X when I login as root. If I login as normal user, I got error
message  saying:
-----------------------------------
waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
AUDIT: Sun Jun 10 11:29:26 2007: 1085 X: client 1 rejected from local host (uid
1001)
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server

..FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be
1; fixing.

giving up
xinit: Connection refused(errno 61): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error
-----------------------------------

Could you help again?

Thanks,
