Hello, Thanks for the help. I still have a problem starting up the X windows. First of all the login screen for X windows still does not allow me to get into the system. When I type my login name and password , the screen goes blank and the login screen reappears after some time. If I type C-A-F1, I can get into the command line mode. When I type startx on command line, it fails. When remove /tmp/X0.lock and retry with startx, I can get into kde ( I enabled KDE from the /stand/sysinstall mode. ) Is it not possible to get directly into X window screen or kde when typing startx? How can I log in from the login screen into X windows or kde? I have given below the output from /var/log/XFree86.0.log XFree86 Version 4.3.0 Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.8 i386 [ELF] Build Date: 23 March 2003 Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/
