Hi Robert Thanks for your advice. Problem is now half-solved. X window starts XF86Config.new was found under super 'ROOT'. Steps taken as follows; 1) copied 'XF86Config.new' to '/etc/X11/' and renamed it as 'XF86Config' 2) # startx Xterm window popup and mouse works 3) # ee /etc/rc.conf adding XSESSION="kde-3" DISPLAYMANAGER=xdm (remark: also tried '=kdm') 4) Rebooted PC GUI login could not popup. PC still starts at 'INIT 3', I suppose 5) # which kde # whereis kde # locate kde could not find it. No printout. Kindly advise how to check whether KDE and GNOME have been installed. If 'NOT' how to download and install them from FreeBSD website (Remark: I installed FreeBSD 5.2 from CD1) TIA Robert Huff wrote: - snip - >> After booting I can login it as 'root' without password.
