Hello Gemma,
Although it really looks like hardware, you can also do this to be 100%
sure it isn't software related:
(1) Had you used that computer before you have installed FreeBSD? It
would be a nice idea to post here the output of your 'dmesg'
or /var/log/messages.
(2) Have you tried to run a small script as Matthias proposed?
(3) Are you sure your ports are up-to-date? If in doubt, install
ports-mgmt/portupgrade and run
# portversion -v -L =
(4) If yes, as of "how to check X without KDE", do the following:
(a) run 'xinit' without ~/.xinitrc file to avoid starting KDE and
or any other window manager; (once you start it, you can go back
by 'exit' or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace; please note that you must put the
mouse over the window in order to move focus on it);
(b) check if there are warning -- (WW) -- or other suspicious messages
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log;
(c) while in pure xinit session, run Firefox or other application that
is not KDE/Qt related;
(d) run Opera, Skype or similar app that is Qt- but not KDE-related;
(e) run KDE applications (Konqueror, KMail, etc.)
and report one by one what happened, from (1) to (4e). Maybe it helps
to isolate the problem, besides hardware tests :)
