Dear Sir:

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

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

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

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

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

#uname -a

root@:/usr/src/sys/c= ompile/SOUNDKERN =20 i386
#

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

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

because I have lots of additional = software and=20 works files installed in the system.

Could you please give me = help?

I will be so much thankful if you can = save my=20 situation!

Regards.
