Here's my own solution 1) put path/to/startkde in .xsession and try to run kdm 2) if it doesn't work also replicate your environment inside .xsession . The syntax you must use is the one for the Sh shell . This should work. 3) now you're ready for the final step (if you like ) . Add this line to /etc/ttys in the virtual terminal section ( or eventually modify the one already existing ) ttvy3 "path/to/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure This will make kde to start automatically every time you run FreeBSD 4) For any information: http://www.kde.org hope this can help Best regards MDG To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
