I installed XFree86 onto my FreeBSD 2.1.6.  When I attempt to run X by
typing "X" all I get is a dark gray screen with an X for a mouse
cursor.  I can move the cursor with my mouse.  I get noting else.  Is
there something configured wrong?  I'm not too familiar with this OS. 
Any help would be appreciated.  

Thanks
Steph.
