As I figured out the GUI image built with Xorg from pkgsrc and it won't run on 3.4 image (I don't know why). So the best solution would install a base DragonFlyBSD image (not a GUI) and install X manually with the commands:</span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new

Xorg from Dports on the GUI image of DragonFly. There are many graphical application that depend on Xorg from pkgsrc.
