freebsd-newbies is not the right list to ask these questions. Our 
purpose here is more for "chatting" and discussion.

If I were you, I would join the freebsd-kde or freebsd-gnome lists to 
ask about installing KDE or GNOME. But you will need to provide more 
information. It's nice knowing what graphic card you have, but also of 
importance is how you're trying to install the software, and what error 
messages you are receiving.

Get your X server working first before you move on to KDE or GNOME. The 
FreeBSD Handbook and FAQ has some very good information on setting up 
XFree86.
