Hi folks,

FreeBSD-6.2-amd64

This is a test, I insalled aprox >80% of the packages on Disc 2
After installation completed PC rebooted to runlevel 3. Login as user
and run;

$ startkde
warning:
Kpersonalizer : Cannot connect to Xserer
- repeated-

$ gnome-session
(gnome-session 1968) gtk-Warning ** cannot open displayed

$ startx
3 xterm windows started. On xterm I can start KDE with a lot of
warning displayed on xterm windonw. But I can't start Gnome on xterm.


If you're going to use "startx" you will need a ${HOME}/.xinitrc with
the following contents:

#/bin/sh
startkde

Make sure the file is 755 permissions. This will start up X with KDE.
I would suggest you configure /etc/ttys to start up KDM instead of
using "startx"

Cheers.
