What do I have to do to set up X manually?  I don't think I have it set
up correctly to the terminals.

In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers, I have the line:
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt05

In /etc/ttys, I have the line:
ttyE4  "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"  vt100 off secure

In /etc/wscons, I have the line:
screen 4 - vt100

I'm not really sure what else I need to configure.  To start it, I'll
run:

# startx

And then it'll crash or hang.
