-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the KDE FreeBSD team, it is my great pleasure to announce that KDE4 has been merged into the FreeBSD ports tree. The official KDE 4.1.0 release notes can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/. Part of the work that has been done is to make sure that it nicely co-exists with an existing KDE 3.x installation. Because of this, users should note that their personal configuration directory is now ~/.kde4, and that application settings are NOT migrated from an existing KDE 3.x installation. This is to ensure that existing applications continue to work correctly whether you run them in a KDE 3 or KDE 4 session. Some points to note: * Prefix KDE4 will be installed into a custom prefixes namely ${LOCALBASE}/kde4. KDE4 and KDE3 can co-exist. * Sound For sound to work, it is necessary to have dbus and hal enabled in your system. Please see the respective documentation on how to enable these. * Login Manager If you if you want to continue to use to use the KDE 4.x KDM as your login manager, the correct entry to put in /etc/ttys is ttyv8 "/usr/local/kde4/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure If you would like to log into KDE 4.x with the KDE 3.x Login Manager (KDM), create a file /usr/local/share/apps/kdm/sessions kde4.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=XSession Exec=/usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde4 TryExec=/usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde4 Name=KDE 4.x Comment=The K Desktop Environment. Similarly, if you want to still use KDE 3.x from your KDM 4.x, you should create a file /usr/local/kde4/share/apps/kdm/sessions/kde3.desktop containing [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=XSession Exec=/usr/local/bin/startkde TryExec=/usr/local/bin/startkde Name=KDE 3.x Comment=The K Desktop Environment 3.x The KDE FreeBSD team would also like to thank our various testers and contributors: ndy Fawcett Danny Pansters David Naylor David Johnson Diego Depaoli Dorian Büttner Dwayne MacKinnon Ernst W.
