I have followed the handbook by the word during installation and configuring X.

Also, be careful trying to compare anything on Linux with FreeBSD. They do some things kind of wonky over there.
Well that depends. I like to try out different distros. This the first OS I can think of that I cant get some graphical interface up and running, even if it is the basic vesa. I am quite capable after numerous years of tinkering with numerous UNIX variations and like most people, still learning.

Are you sure xorg.conf is in /etc/X11?
Yes, xorg.conf is present in /etc/X11.

Quote:
# cp /root/xorg* /etc/X11
# more /etc/xorg.conf
Produces the desired results.

Why should I not install X during the installation?

Is my installation screwed now by the failure of updating the x drivers described above.
