I trying to configure xorg.
I execute the command Xorg -configure.
The error was Can't open display.
With command xrandr print to.
There is a solution?
Thanks,
 
I was about to direct you to the handbook on installing X. But it seems somewhat outdated.
www.freebsd.org

Chapter 5. The X Window System

This chapter describes how to install and configure Xorg on FreeBSD, which provides the open source X Window System used to provide a graphical environment
www.freebsd.org www.freebsd.org

Is your user part of the video group?
Did you load any graphics drivers? Graphics - FreeBSD Wiki
What version of FreeBSD? 12.2-Release?

You don't need to do this any more, I think.
 
Ok, I set my user as part of video group. Using the line in the handbook.
The system is running as a virtual machine and host don't have drivers.
I read the manual and i forget somethings, but now I did it.
So, I install xdm because I think I need. I don't know what is my video card, so, tried to use Xorg -configure.
With xrandr print Can't open display.
What can I do.
I just installed XFCE and it work.

My recollection too. It seems like years, if not decades, since my last mandatory Xorg -configure My only use for it these days is to fine tune resolution and such after gnome3 is up and running..
 
You shouldn't be using Xorg -configure any more. You don't need to create an xorg.conf at all these days. Xorg does a very good job of auto-detecting most things.

Look at dmesg(8) output. Or look through the output from pciconf -lv.
