Hi,
   I recently installed FreeBSD 2.0 on my PC. I cannot get X to run on it.
When I type startx ot xinit it just hangs there, nothing happens.

I have Diamond Stealth 32 video card with W32p chip set (compatible with
et4000), and Logitech trackman trackball on COM2.


In XConfig86 file I have added 
chipset "et4000w2p"
to screen(?) section.

in pointer section I added Logitech and /dev/tty01


Thanx in advance :-)
