When I start kde, X starts and the kde splash screen comes up on a gray background. After the "initializing peripherals" icon flashes for a minute or two, I get a completely gray screen with an arrow cursor and nothing happens. The cursor moves, but keystrokes and mouse clicks do nothing. Any ideas as to what I should try next would be welcome. thanks, Ken Seggerman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
