What gives? Well that should be enough; I don't know about KDE but as for GNOME you can simply turn on the knob gdm_enable=3D"YES" in /etc/rc.conf and then execute /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh start Note: only do this after you configured X to work right; GDM starts X as part of a graphical login screen. There is a way to start gnome using the 'startx' method but I don't know it. HTH, --Stijn --=20 A "No" uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a "Yes" merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble. -- Mahatma Ghandi --6CiRFyVmOOJ3DkBX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFC+aeoY3r/tLQmfWcRAnQbAKCv81SieFsIGssa579NDggXmzl/tgCeIFzg LlvyvBffwZRdORx+UN51VqQ= =I9gk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --6CiRFyVmOOJ3DkBX--
