FreeBSD Port/Distribution Installation

[Sukhbinder Singh]

I typed xf86config and the system took me to a step of X configuration and
the updated the config file in the X11 directory. However, when I typed
startx at the command prompt. It gives me a lengthy message where some of
the important part of the messeage read as " fatal server error, no screen
found" and X window system failed to run. any help in troubleshooting this
will be helpful.
