KDE and startx
Hello,
Ive installed freeBSD 6.0 - and the prompt part of the system works well. Ive then tried to install KDE for graphic interface to the unix system.
The problem is:
Whenever I run "$ startx" it starts some graphical interface, but its totally swirled, you can sense that in the background there are some windows-like stuff.
Whenever i run "$ kdesktop" it tells me that
Whenever i run "$ startkde" it doesnt start up, but it runs some stuff, and then exits. It tells me that i couldnt connect to "X server" and "kdeinit: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set."
All i ever did was to follow the freeBSD install kit.
How can i possibly become to run KDE? -or should i just go with GNOME, as i have done previuosly on another computer... ?
sincerely
Thomas. Denmark
