The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list. /root/.DCOPserver_mhumm2.mchsi.com_:0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running. If I wait about 30 seconds to a minute then startx, I get in to KDE and everything works fine (except for the sound server, but that's a differnt post and not associated with this problem). OR if after getting kicked back to the console I immediately repeat the startx command, I'll usually get it. As with the above error message, I'm attempting to startx as root. If I was doing the same thing as a normal user the error message would have given the same message except with the home folder of the user. /home/mark/.DCOPserver_ ... Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
