Solved Fail start desktop (black screen)

[Anto]

Hello everyone. I tried to install FreeBSD 10.1 but when load desktop the screen is black.

After install desktop and Xorg I put this command in terminal:
# Xorg -configure && cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

This is my rc.conf file:

hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"
cinnamon_enable="YES"

This is /home/antonio/.xinitrc file:

exec cinnamon-session

The desktop not appears, where am I wrong?

I can't comment on x11/cinnamon as I've never used it, however unless you're using Nvidia graphics or need to tweak X in some special way, you don't need an xorg.conf file. X will configure itself without it. I know it still mentions Xorg --configure in the handbook but it doesn't work correctly most of the time and shouldn't be used at all. Try deleting the xorg.conf file and rebooting the computer.

As a side note, if you're using x11/gdm, the xinitrc file isn't used.

Thank you protocelt!
I don't know how, I don't know why but I put in the terminal this command for remove .Xauthority (I read in this forum a few weeks ago) and the OS was started.

# rm .Xauthority

Then I followed your advice, I have removed .xinitrc and xorg.conf.
