(All the following are done as root.) When I installed XFree86-4 from /stand/sysinstall, I find that both "X" and "startx" actually run my previous (working) XFree86 3.3.6. When I try XFree86, it firstly said "No screen found". So I put in `Device "nv"' in XF86Config for my Riva128 card. It then started alright. But then I'm stuck at the grey screen with the cross mouse cursor, and no window manager loads. I have both .xession and .xinitrc containing only the line `exec startkde' which worked in 3.3.6. The server output is quite long, showing (what looks to me like) a lot of repetitions. I've attached the log. Could someone please tell me what may be the problem? Thanks very much.
