You need to run startkde when an X server is already running. The usual way to launch the X server with kde as primary client is to put startkde into a text file called .xinitrc in your home directory and then running startx. Make sure you have a complete X server installation before you do this. If you're not sure, install the x11/xorg port or pkg_add -r xorg, this will add any missing parts of X that might be missing. > 1.

It's hard to guess what 'this mess' now looks like, but if you attach the output of ls /var/db/pkg to another mail, we can get a better idea. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
