I was trying to install MATE & KDE4, but I'm getting an error. everytime I try to run exec startkde it logs me out with this message: $DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to xserver echo $DISPLAY says DISPLAY: undefined variable I was using this guide to set everything up: https://cooltrainer.org/a-freebsd-desktop-howto/#with-radeon-intel-or-otherwise am I missing something? I do have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf, I did do the X -configure. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux User #367800 and new counter #561587
