Subject:   How do I get KDM to launch KDE ?
Message-ID:  <BE440D14.22C6%lichtner@9online.fr>
index | next in thread | raw e-mail 

Hi,
I selected KDM to run at startup by editing /etc/ttys :
ttyv8   ł/usr/local/bin/kdm ­nodaemon˛   xterm   on   secure
I also created a .xsession file both in /root and in my home directory with
the line :
exec startkde
When I reboot, KDM starts up but when I login (correct password), the login
windows disappears, the KDM background remains and KDE doesnąt start.
However, KDE starts fine when I run startx in a terminal session.
Is there something I didnąt do properly ?
Thanks,
Edward

BTW, I use FreeBSD 5.3, Xorg 6.7.0-9, KDE 3.3.0-4
