Im currently away from my testbox, untill february. However I remember
running xinit and X started up. I manged to install xfce from pgksrc, it
started up with startxfce or a command like that, i dont remember, but not
fully: froze on loading. I could however move the mouse and exit with
ctrl+alt+backspace.

    If startx is not sticking on DNS then perhaps there are two video
    devices in your machine and its slapping the display up on the wrong
    one.

    Doing a 'ktrace -i startx' and looking at the kdump output might provide
    a clue.
