When I use xinit after logging into my box, kde4 launches, and I have to admit it's very pretty :) I'm pretty new to FreeBSD, I've looked around to see if anyone else has experienced/found a fix for this problem and have seen this problem has also appeared somewhere in Russia on 7.0. Release, but the fix hasn't been found. Just wondering if there's some BSD guru out there who can help me get kdm to launch. >How-To-Repeat: login as root cd /usr/ports/x11/kde4 if not already root user, su to root or sudo make install clean [if necessary pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/x11/kdebase-runtime-4.1.1.tbz and after that make install clean] after installcompletes, edit /etc/ttys to include ttyv8 "/usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure save your changes on /etc/ttys reboot and when the system comes back up, this is where I get the error..... >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
