X Window problem

[Gary and El Byrnes]

Hi Everybody

I am new to FreeBSD. Just intalled v 5.0.

I went into /etc/ttys and changed "xterm on secure" to have graphics and having a problem after that. The GUI wouldn't come up. The screen keeps coming to a dark blue with a mouse cursor cross on it then disappears. How can I fix this please?

I have a flatscreen monitor and I am not too sure what video card I have - some cheapie.

Thanks a lot in advance.
