I suppose you're using kdm. Disable it, then create an .xinitrc, with like so: echo 'exec /usr/local/bin/startkde' > ~/.xinitrc then type 'startx'. WARNING: Backup your files when needed and if you fear losing settings, consider setting up a virgin user account first. If this works properly, this narrows down the problem to kdm. If it doesn't, then CTRL-ALT_BACKSPACE to stop X and KDE and start x via: nohup startx Exit the same way when it hangs and examine nohup.out for errors and oddities. -- Melvyn ======================================================= FreeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Wed Jan 28 18:01:18 CET 2004 root@sarevok.lan.webteckies.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SAREVOK_NOAPM_NODEBUG i386 ======================================================= [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBAHZC/Ov9JNmfFN5URAmBAAKCdOtWjBXf8MvWa/wYeCpSg/w2HXgCfTGSx 0b2Hn1wi504I3GcqiJjhzy4= =PNSQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
