Karl, Try this. What do you get, now. #ls -l /usr/local/bin/kdeinit -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 39716 Sep 29 03:22 /usr/local/bin/kdeinit #ls -l /usr/local/bin/startkde -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11828 Jul 23 09:23 /usr/local/bin/startkde #ls -l .xinitrc -rw-r--r-- 1 username username 48 Sep 23 07:10 .xinitrc #cat .xinitrc exec startkde Do you have xorg installed? xorg.conf is in place and configured? What happens if you: #xdm Does x start up? Have you looked at the handbook for information on x? What about the FAQ? You have a permissions problem somewhere.
