I remember that I was guided by the installation wizard to set up XFree86. but here's what I got from the command line interface after my PC boot up. after I issued 'startx', I saw : Fatal server error: xf860 penConsole:KDENABIO failed (Operation not permitted) X Connection to :0.0 broken. and I saw a number of "Entry deleted from font path". e.g. (Entry deleted from font path. Run 'mkfontdir' on '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/speedo") Warning: 'font.dir' not found in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi ... when issuing 'kde' from the cli, I got kcontrolL cannot connect to X server etc and I saw a number of "Entry deleted from font path". e.g. isn't X-server started when the machine boots up? could anyone please help me out? thanks Charley To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
