    Hi, welcome to FreeBSD!

    Take a look at
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html.

    The long and short of it is make sure you have KDE installed and then do
    echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc

    Now when you run startx KDE should launch automatically. The FreeBSD
    handbook is a wonderful resource and can be found at
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html, most
    of your questions can be answered by reading it.

    Subject: Question - startx, KDE

    Hello,

    I am not only a FreeBSD newbie but I am also a newbie to this list. If this
    is not the correct place to ask quetions like the one below please advise
    and I will follow. Thanks.

    I have FreeBSD 5.1 installed, I know the startx command and am familiar with
    using it from Mandrak-Linux. However, when I use the startx command with
    FreeBSD it gives me an X-Window environment. What file do I have to
    configure to have KDE start by using the startx command and how do I
    configure it?

    Thanks for all of your help and response in advance.

    Eric
