hi anyone, can anyone tell me how to replicate/get this thing running cuz i'm still learning the basics of unix, and really hooked on freebsd - but this is driving me nuts and need to ask. hope this explains it proper since i don't know the technical terms of what i'm looking for; which might make this easier- basically i have xorg and kde3 running ok, and i'm using kdm now - by editing /etc/ttys -> tty8. but previously, when testing x11 and kde i was first starting x11 with 'startx' without any .xinitrc file whatsoever - so i could go to the basic x that starts with a couple of xterms and a clock, if you know the one... and then type 'startkde' in one of those. kde starts, but what i'm interested in, is that the xterm i started kde from keeps displaying messages - which on a few occasions seemed very clean, on others i noticed warnings - like bad window, etc. now i'm basically trying to get one of those running after starting from kdm - if possible. i don't know if 'tail' is what i'm looking for, and if so whether it goes through some log file somewhere in /var, or through running processes somehow. unless the most i can do is run that one a single app. thanks in advance
