Are the startx-launched and kdm-launched X daemons using the same config file? Check the top of /var/log/Xorg.*.log for sure. If you ran "X -configure" at some point it might be using a config out of your home directory and not in one of the system locations. When kdm starts it it doesn't look in your homedir :) -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
