Please don't top-post, and a carriage return every 70 characters or so of text wouldn't go amiss either.

Your problem doesn't appear to be with KDE. It's with getting X running itself. I've got (I think; it isn't booted at the moment) the same kind of graphics controller in a laptop myself, and I configured it with xf86cfg, if I recall correctly. Look at the logs that X leaves behind when it starts up -- and what it prints to the console you started it from. startx is the right way to start it from the command line. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
