partial GUI and working on getting it fully up

I

idecrash

I have installed 8.2 and have been having a lot of fun with it and love the stability so far. Went to install Xorg, took a few trial and errors but so far, to my little knowledge of a Unix os, the terminal is easy to use. (I have used Debian for a few years).

I do have a small issue I will probably figure out after I get some sleep but thought I would cross this on the forum and get something to go with. I based the GUI on Xfce, I can startx, and I have mouse control. I do have three terminals open when "X" runs. I have a logon terminal and two xterms running.

I have an error of fbdev not being installed, I presume that it is my video driver compatibility with the standard VESA or Intel xf86 drivers that has an issue. I will install and reconfigure my nVidia later today.

But my concern lies in the issue if there is one. I have a crossfire-ready chipset but have an nVidia card. My question is could that be causing my issue?
 
Thanks for the info

A bit more research i found that when I ran xinit, the gui came up. Was able to reboot and modify the rc.conf to get everything working. I am using a 13 gig hd. And system runs fine in root. But I have no more drive space to operate with out issues with standard log in. So I will be dropping in a new drive today. Other than that I love the OS very easy to use. Will be looking forward to be able to run some packages, and get everything running up to par.�e
