Justin, Last night I found at least part of the solution. There is an .Xsession in /usr/local/share/config/kdm/ that needs editing, and it does not use the same syntax as xdm. I have kde working now, but that is the only wm that I can get. No matter what I start I get kde. Back to the kde2.2 manual! Now to get to work on windows apps. Via VM or Win4Lin. (netraverse says no support for FreeBSD and win4lin. Too bad, better controll over dir structure I would think would make their supporting it much esier) Mike On Tuesday 12 March 2002 17:25, you wrote: > you did the right thing using using kdm. when you got to login you need > to select kde from the log menu. if you wont to use the default then you > need to add a .xsession with 'exec startkde' > > Michael W.Holdeman wrote: > > Using the instructions in the handbook I installed FreeBSD 4.5 on my > > laptop top play with it. > > My problems are this. > > My screen comes up to a login.
