Hi, Do you have an ".xinitrc" file in the home directory of the person invoking X? Whats in that file? What does "ls -ld /var/db/pkg/xterm*" show? Tuc > > Thank you again for your reply. But may I ask how I can get the default window manager back. I think it's called xterm or xdm, I'm not sure. > > The link you referenced is for loading Gnome or KDE. The last time I followed the instructions for loading KDE like this it ran for almost 72 hours. And that was on a P4 1.9 Ghz with a blazing fast high speed connection I was using in NYC. It would download 640 MB in only 3 minutes, but the KDE pkg_add was still running after 2 days of non-stop compiling and I eventually had to give it up. > > I just want to get my little xterm windows back like I had before the Xorg upgrade.
