I have been using gnome with window manager for a gui, and I want to give
KDE installed.  So I updated my ports tree and installed KDE from the ports=
.

What I put in startkde I get this:

$ startkde
xsetroot:  unable to open display ''
xset:  unable to open display ""
ksplash: cannot connect to X server
Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set.
ksmserver: cannot connect to X server
connect() failed: : No such file or directory


Umm, what do I do now?

I tried putting export DISPLAY=3D:0 into /etc/profile but that did not seem t=
o
help.
