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.
