When I try startx it gives me additional errors like: xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "Defender.sys.gtei.net:0" in "list" command xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "Defender.sys.gtei.net:0" in "add" command ..then it continutes to load and then says: Symbol vgaHWUnmapMem from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nv_drv.o is unresolved! Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting .... So, how do I resolve the driver problem? I'm using an Nvidia GeForce 3 Ti 200 card, and it told me to use the nv driver (so does the documentation on XFree86.org) Thank you, -James Turnbull ----- Original Message ----- From: "Xeon" To: "James" Cc: "FreeBSD Questions" Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2002 10:41 AM Subject: Re: Getting KDE to work > you have to put startkde into a file called .xinitrc, which is located in your home directory. then you can start X-server by typing startx.
