I haven't had an X/kde problem in years and probably because of that I am stuck. Problems are learning opportunities;) To confirm that my las xorg.conf was done with xorgconfig and almost identical to my old XF86config files and all depreciated.

When trying to start my brand new kde it stuck with Akonadi and the las line was that it was preparing to launch /usr/local/kde4/lib/kde4/kio_trash.so and it doesn't move from there. I have to kill it with ^c. I have a copy of the last run bye using startx 2>&1 | /tmp/TestLog.log and am attaching the file.

As I mentioned my xorg.conf didn't work so I created a new on with Xorg -configure and then ran the nvidia-config and used the result also attached.

(No attachments; the list software sometimes removes them. Also, x11 configuration questions are probably best sent to the freebsd-x11 list.)

Added links as soon as I saw it. I chose ports because I have no idea what the problem is: kde or xorg or ?


First, rename or delete your xorg.conf and try startx again. If it'll autoconfig correctly for your hardware, problem solved.

I was sure that would work but .... I am putting the link to the xorg.0.log here.

Thanks for the information. I missed that over the last few updates. I also see that it wanted to use the vesa driver that isn't quite as nice as the nvidia but to get away from the black terminals that I loved so much in the '80's.


If not, or if you want an xorg.conf, a current sample for an ancient GeForce2 follows. It assumes you have dbus and hal running, and you may need to change the BusID value to match your system.

Thanks I will give it a try. Hopefully it will work for me. Your reference to dbus and hal and the BusID, worry me. I'm going to take a closer look at them to. I didn't even include them in my testing mix.
