    Hi once again and very obviously i have ran into another problem. the
    Xfree86 i installed KDE window manager or w/e. So i reboot after i login and
    type startkde in the command prompt it gives me
    xet : unable to open display
    xsetroot : unable to open display
    startkde : starting up...
    startkde : Running kpersonlizer
    kwin : cannot connect to X server
    kpersonlizer : cannot connect to X server
    and the last message keeps on repeating but i no longer can type any
    commands into it

    then i tried Gnome and i typed "gnome-session" it gives me a message saying
    (gnome-session:520) : Gtk-warning ** : cannot open display:

    well what is certain is that my display is not working properly though i
    could be corrected. I have tried almost every option that associates with
    KDE and Gnome but i still can't tend to find what caused the problem. Please
    help me
