I've just helping my friend installed Free BSD 4.7 on his laptop but unfortunately he have problem after installation ( damn..I'm on holiday at the moment...I have to think of his problem ), here is the problem,he have video card "vesa driver(generic)" and unfortunately in "free BSD video card list" during installation not showing of that video card, so he choose "VGA 16''( cause he think that VGA will fit with that "vesa driver generic"..we know that video card is sensitif cases for any installation of *Nix distro..but we don't have choice..so we decided to try).

Instalation went ok for his free BSD except "X configuration":
here is the problem:

After command # startx
