This is the wrong place to ask such questions. I am copying it to freebsd-questions and bccing docs so that replies go to questions. You probably need to do a startx. For example, I use kde-2 and I have an .xinitrc that looks like the following coral# m .xinitrc exec startkde When I type startx, it invokes kde-2 for my desktop.
