I mean that you can bring up X ok right ? - when you run startx - you should read those links I gave you as it will give you instructions on how to bring up KDE or GNOME.

Regards
Shelton.

dont know much about xfce - but if you replace where it says kde with xfce here then maybe it will work?

Go to the xfce website and read the instructions there on how to set it up.

Code:
Graphical Login

If you want to use kdm as graphical login manager (which means you don't have to login to a terminal and type startx every time) you need to edit a configuration file and set up your system so that it enters graphical mode after boot, as explained below.

In /etc/rc.conf, set the DISPLAYMANAGER variable to kdm.

Code Listing 3.2: Setting DISPLAYMANAGER in /etc/rc.conf
# nano -w /etc/rc.conf
(Edit the following variable)
DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"


Finish up by adding xdm to the default runlevel:

Code Listing 3.3: Adding xdm to the default runlevel
# rc-update add xdm default


When you reboot your system, it will use KDM as the graphical login manager.

KDM will provide a list of available sessions to choose from, including KDE - of course - and including all the other sessions installed on your system, which KDM finds by looking in /usr/share/xsessions/. Thus, if you use KDM, you don't need to edit ~/.xinitrc.

Thank you for all.
I solved this problem. a problem was what xfce cann't read and create any files because my files in home directory were with idnumber of ather user(what was from previus instalation).
allways check permisions ;)
Thank you shazam75.
