FBSD 8.2R can't startx

[Gua Chung Lim]

Hi All,

I have been using FreeBSD since mid 2005.
``startx'' worked very well on my old machine.

Mid last year I bought a new machine, HP Pavilion p6276l Home PC.
I installed FBSD 8.1R, xorg and KDE shipped with DVD.
It could not startx. The GUI screen was still black.
And only a small square box appeared on the screen.
This square box moved responding to mouse movement.
I tried re-installing it several times, the problem still persisted.
I mostly code C without GUI so I have left it untouched since then.

Recently last week, I tried installing 8.2R, xorg-7.5 and KDE-4.5.5 from DVD.
(fresh installation) The same problem persists in this version.
Only a small square box appears on black GUI screen.
I tried both KDE and GNOME, the results are the same.
So I think that the root cause should be xorg.
I cannot do any GUI stuffs but command line interface.
Anyone who has any clues or experieces this problem, please point me out.
Thank you in advance.

Here is my related configurations...
