I noticed the permissions for 3 other directory and the .ICE-unix under /'tmp as root:wheel I ran chown -R user:user on them it got rid of most the errors but still, I was getting an error about that .ICE-unix directory. the third thing I did is I rm -rf everything under /tmp and started kde again. Less errors and still showing the .ICE-unix error and my previous attachment was the least error I was able to get.
Follow up: what about the Modes "1024x758" why the word Modes is unknown to xorg.conf ? and if it is. What should I use instead to increase the resolution. At least to be able to run blackbox smoothly till I get kde errors fixed. thanks again for your help. -- Regards, _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
