look in /etc/rc.conf. look near the end for these lines: If this doesn't help then I don't know what to say. Other opinions? DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm # Make sure this line is uncommented (xdm should work as # well) # XSESSION is a new variable to control what window manager to start # default with X if run with xdm, startx or xinit. The default behavior # is to look in /etc/X11/Sessions/ and run the script in matching the # value that XSESSION is set to. The support scripts is smart enouth to # look in all bin directories if it cant find a match in /etc/X11/Sessions/, # so setting it to "enligtenment" can also work. This is basically used # as a way for the system admin to configure a default system wide WM, # allthough it will work if the user export XSESSION in his .bash_profile, etc. # # NOTE: this behaviour is overridden when a ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession exists # for the particular program run ( ~/.xinitrc for startx, ... ). # # Defaults depending on what you install currently include: # # Gnome - will start gnome-session # kde-<version> - will start startkde (ex: kde-3.0.2) # Xsession - will start a terminal and a few other nice apps XSESSION=kde-3.0.5 #this line should show the version of kde you use # (probably kde-3.1) and is uncommented -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
