I should have been more clear with this. I can run startx as root and get xfree86/KDE running great. I simply can't do it as any other user, though... When I go and try runnung 'make install' on /usr/ports/x11/wrapper, it says that "==> wrapper-1.0_1 is forbidden: This port is for XFree86-4" - now that error has me a little bit confused since I already installed XFree86-4 with the pkg_add utility in /stand/sysinstall. Should I have run a make install for XFree86-4 from the ports? and if so, what is the difference - besides the means by which it would have been installed?
