Gnome Show Blank Screen

Thu May 28 19:08:58 PDT 2015

Seems you have different problems, both with xorg and with the desktop
environment. Get back to the point above where you got the black-grey grid
with X shaped cursor, this shows that Xorg is working but you lack the
desktop environment. This is because your log file shows you put the wrong
path in the .xinitrc file (the DragonFly handbook is outdated). The correct
line should be something in the /usr/local/bin directory, for instance

---.xinitrc---
exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session
--- ---

so do as it says on the FreeBSD webpage that John Marino gave you above:

% echo "exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc

this should at least get rid of the error "/root/.xinitrc:
/usr/pkg/bin/gnome-session: not found".

If you need to install xorg packages separately then it seems something's
wrong. Normally you only need to write

% sudo pkg install xorg

and this meta package should give you all the xorg you need. I usually get
the graphical desktop running by doing

% sudo pkg install xorg xfce
% echo "exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc
% startx

(Sometimes need to tweak the xorg.conf too).

Cheers
