I have been using gnome with window manager for a gui, and I want to give KDE installed. So I updated my ports tree and installed KDE from the ports. What I put in startkde I get this: $ startkde xsetroot: unable to open display '' xset: unable to open display "" ksplash: cannot connect to X server Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set. ksmserver: cannot connect to X server connect() failed: : No such file or directory Umm, what do I do now? I tried putting export DISPLAY=:0 into /etc/profile but that did not seem to help.
