Hi all folks, This is my first time installing UNIX - FreeBSD 5.2 Harware - Graphic card - Creative Graphic Blaster RiVA-TNT - One IDE ATA-hard disc - connected to ATA controller (Entire disc for FreeBSD) - 2 ethernet cards, Realtek - USB mouse - 3 buttons, wheel - CDRom - secondary slave - CDWriter - secondary master - 101 keyboard Installing media - CD1 Installation went through without complaint with auto-partitioning. Coming to X configuration, no USB mouse driver was available for selection compelled to select PS/2 mouse instead. It did ask for selecting video card driver and rebooted automatically. X window started but I have no idea which mode it was. Mouse did not work. The screen pop-up with a mouse pad/key pad and a small XFConfig diagram. I have no problem to navigate the mouse with key pad, highlight the item but could not select it. 'Enter' key did not function. Finally I pressed a hard-reboot to restart the PC. PC restarted going straight to text mode with login popup. I entered 'root' and then 'startx'. This time X window could not start. Kindly advise how to fix it. TIA. B.R. satimis

Hi unixhead, Tks for your link. I got my problem fixed. The FreeBSD 5.2 box is now working with KDE started at boot, Internet connected, etc. My next job will be to upgrade the box from Internet because many packages not installed yet. I think I still need times to get myself familiar with UNIX. After that my next move will be Security - network forensic. B.R. satimis

Cool. Good luck.
