Dear Sir:

I have FreeBSD release 4.6 working in my PC.
The KDE (3.0.1 ? I forgot the exact version) coming with this release =
works well.
But after I install the kde-studio 2.0.0 package, the disaster occurs.
I cannot start kde again. The X window seems still working.=20

The symptom now is like this:
After type
#startx
The X window occurs with white screen, and give a message "Couldn't =
start ksmserver.=20

Check your installation."=20
The only action I can choose is a button <okay>.=20
Then I press the button. Then return to the console (command prompt =
screen).=20
#

So I think it may be because of the installation of kde-studio 2.0.0 =
package.
For some files do not come from the FreeBSD release 4.6 CD. These files =
are downloaded=20

by myself. They may have some overwriting or conflict with the KDE.
These files are:=20
fam-2.6.8.tgz,
freetype2-2.1.1.tgz,
kdelibs-2.2.2_3.tgz,
kdestudio-2.0.0.tgz,
libiconv-1.8.tgz,
libxml2-2.4.22_1.tgz,
libxslt-1.0.18.tgz,
Mesa-3.4.2_2.tgz,
png-1.2.3.tgz,
qt-2.3.1_2.tgz.

#uname -a
FreeBSD  4.6-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE #0: Sat Jul 13 22:46:43 NZST =
2002 =20
root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/SOUNDKERN  i386
#

How can I solve this problem? I want my kde to come back working. I have =
so much=20

things need to use it. And a re-installation of FreeBSD system is too =
too troublesoum,=20

because I have lots of additional software and works files installed in =
the system.

Could you please give me help?

I will be so much thankful if you can save my situation!

Regards.

Shen Zhijian.
