When installing, the base installed fine, but when I got to installing linux compat, etc., the modem disconnected and froze my install (hung on downloading). So I thought I just try aborting and restarting. Voila, the system booted with no problem. However, once running, I saw that I didn't have cvsup, so I proceeded to grab that and after that, checked out the ports and base system. I proceeded to make kde2 and after resolving issues, compiling a kernel, etc. etc. I succeeded and have kde 2.2 installed "fine" on my system. I can start it via adding startkde to .xinitrc just fine and things seem fair, however, I cannot for the life of me get kdm to start up at system startup (I altered some system conf files to try to get it to come up) NOR can I get kdm to start kde from within kdm, if I start kdm as root. Apparently this must be some type of issue, as I did not grab the binary port first? However, after spending so many hours configuring, downloading, and making everything, I would hate to have to go grab the bins and reinstall the src port again. Is there anyway around this? Is there some script I am missing to set up kdm sessions? I am curious about some other issues I've had with permissions, such as a user I configured not being able to access /dev/mem to start X until I chmod'ed /dev/mem to 666, as well as setting the setuid bit for Xfree86... I sense that I'm missing a few things here, can someone help me out in knowing what settings I should make, or is there a script I am missing in ports, etc. etc? Thanks so much to anyone for help.
