I've previously purchased several FBSD Power Packs and haven't had this much difficulty before with my other systems, then again I've been gone for more than four years so I assume I've missed some things. The install was completely successful so far, however I don't know how to set the system up so that when I use "startx" it defaults to KDE or when I use "startkde" from the prompt kde will begin without having a "cannot connect to X server" error. I know the X server (XFree86? or Xorg?, I believe it's xorg because I use top after using startx) must start prior to any GUI. I've searched the handbook and haven't found what I need to get to where I would like my system to be. Your assistance would be appreciated.
