how can i run gnome on freebsd

[ganzmansuperstar]

If gnome is installed and configured , all you need is #startx or #gdm
If gdm doesn’t give you gnome login screen but instead gives you an X
error....
You need to edit the file XF86Config (usualy /etc/X11/XF86Config)
Or use one of the Xconfigurators (try /stand/sysinstall on the post config
menu)

If the config is good ..... maybe you should try to install gnome again?
#cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/gnome2
#make install clean

Hope this helps :)

hi

i've just installed freebsd on my home computer... i known to linux but i 
really have no clue how to run freebsd with gnome... i've chosen it in the 
installation menue but when i boot free bsd theres still the command line...

perhaps i'm asking a little too much of you guys... it would also help me 
if you knew a good website where i can view a tutorial how to run bsd in 
graphics mode...

thank you very much....

yours bijan
