Hello all.

I have been trying to get X working under FreeBSD 2.1.6 for a few days
now. I believe I have it configured properly - I can start it up, and
I get a background pattern and a pointer I can move around, but
nothing else. How can I actually run an X application once this is up?
How can I start a command prompt window? Where do I go from here?

Thanks for your help.
