problems with running x windows

I

infinity

I installed the user-x package. I looked here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-install.html

and followed the instructions for installing xorg, and tested to see whether the configuration was successful by using:

# Xorg -config xorg.conf.new -retro

I got a black/ gray screen with an X mouse in center, so it was successful. I didn't actually touch any of the configurations because I'm still a newbie with unix(I really don't know what I'm doing). Finally, I installed the configuration file using:

# cp xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

then I tried running the gui with startx and my computer just displays 3 windows and freezes(or at least does nothing). To be more specific, it displays 3 blank windows, 2 of which titled "xterm" and the other titled "login". My mouse is in the center, but I'm incapable of moving it. When this happens, I'm forced to restart using ctrl-alt-delete.

I don't know what's going on. Please help? :/
 
Add hald_enable="YES" and dbus_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf
To exit the graphical environment. Just enter exit in one of the windows then hit enter.
