FreeBSD e-mach 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov  3 09:36:13 UTC 2005     root@x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

>Description:
              situation:
I have tried to install FreeBSD v6.0 on an eMachine with Intel Celeron 2.5 Ghz twice.
both times specifying xserver installation.
I was not offered the process of configuring the X server (as in earlier versions
of FreeBSD, 5.2.1 and 4.1.1)
So, X would not start and the hard copy manual seems to be out of date with the
current version because it refers to files that don't exist on this system, at least
not in the location specified. Version 4.1.1 even had a script that could be run
after installation to configure the X server.
However x.org is new to me and the manuals don't seem to have any info on it.

The following is the output of uname -E:

FreeBSD e-mach 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #0: Thu Nov  3 09:36:13 UTC 2005     
root@x64.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

The last line of output is 'Failed to to load module "fbdev" ( module does not exist, 0)'

>How-To-Repeat:
        run startx (as root) on any terminal
Install and not be given opportunity to configure the server.      
>Fix:
              to start supply the fbdev module or tell me where on the system I  can find it and what to do when I do. (I have purchased two versions of FreeBSD, 5.2.1 and now 6.0. So it's not like I'm whining and not paying for something). Please forgive me if this is antagonizing you, that is not my aim. You can direct me to a more appropriate source for guidance on getting this system going if necessary.
thank you

 Hello,
 
 FreeBSD uses X.org instead of XFree86 since 5.3-RELEASE, therefore you 
 can't use an old configuration file. Please consider the handbook 
 (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook) to learn how to configure the X window 
 server. As far as I can remember you can run "xorgcfg -textmode" to 
 configure it. Please discuss this further on the mailing lists.

 ... and a happy new year. :-)
