i am facing these issues after my FreeBSD 6.2 installation.

[Roger Olofsson]

Hello Ajay,

2. May I suggest that you get the source code for vim and compile it? 
It's available at the wonderful Vi lovers homepage at -> 
http://thomer.com/vi/vi.html

3. You could, for instance, create a small file containing the startx 
command, make sure that file is executable by doing chmod ugo+x 
<filename> and place that file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.

5. The sources are available as a package. Just install them using csup 
or any other method you prefer.

Good luck!
