mouse is working, keyboard too, coz i can execute commands from X terminal, but i cant see anything... i tryied to install gnome, added gnome_enable="YES" to rc.conf, restarted, similar black/coluored screen appeared, but after several seconds GNOME is started. YAY! but there is another small problem, that you can see in the next screen

i can see a desktop wallpaper, but nothing on it. on this screen i cant log in, coz nothing is happening... tryied to log in via command line and then use gnome - same crap.
can someone of you, guys help me to solve this problem? it would be awsome, coz i have to prepare a report about using bsd with gnome to my collage teacher in next few days. cant do that on virtual machine, coz there is no sound...
sorry about crappy screen, coz my camera is broken, so i have to take pictures with my 2mpix cellphone... and sorry about bad english too
