>Description:
      When I install Free BSD from cdrom, I cannot enter graphical mode to configure XFree86.  I can in text mode,however.
	Unfortunately, I still cannot "startx" after install.  I continually get the error messages- "(EE) screen(s) found but cannot use" - "cannot connect to X server"-etc.
Please Help!!  I'm beginning to think that the media is corrupt.  That stinks!  I just bought this software from CompUSA.
