I'm new to FreeBSD (thought I have basic experience using Solaris, I'm pretty new to UNIX). Thank you everyone for your help so far. I had a lot of trouble getting KDE to work, but I finally did a "make install clean" on KDE3. It successfully installed. I've installed XFree86 version 4.2. I can't seem to get KDE to run. I type: #startkde and it then spits back: xsetroot: unable to open display '' xset: unable to open display "" ksplash: cannot connect to X server kdeinit: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set. ksmserver: cannot connect to X server Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory Error: Can't contact kdeinit! My guess is that I need to set the display somehow (though I could be wrong). How would I do this? I've run through the /stand/sysinstall installation for XFree86 3 times. I checked XF86Config to make sure it was there and looked reasonable (though I could only guess at that). It has a section "ServerLayout" where the Screen field is: Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 It looks like extra 0s, but I don't know for sure. Could this be the problem?
