Hello,

I have just installed FreeBSD 5.3 with X.org and KDE-lite (using pkg_add -r). I prefer kdm as my login manager, but I'm unable to configure it properly. Apparently it doesn't run startkde script when user logs in. When I log in I get empty desktop. If I use console to login and run startx, everything works fine (as long as I got .xinitrc in place).

A12.1 in freebsd.kde.org FAQ suggests me to use default configuration files from /usr/local/share/config/kdm/default/, a path which doesn't even exist. However, the config files one level up are in place and seem to be OK. I have googled a lot, but the info I've found is outdated.

Furthermore, I created ~/.xsession file and put exec /usr/local/bin/startkde there. When I try to log in with Session Type "Custom" the Xserver restarts and I'm back in login screen. The file .xsession-errors contains numerous messages
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified


There's also messages stating
[xset/xsetroot]: unable to open display ':0'
[kwin/kpersonalizer]: cannot connect to X server :0
kpersonalizer produces the error about 30 times followed by the Xlib error.

This happens regardless whether I run kdm from console mode or put it in ttys file. Could someone assist me with this?

Thanks,
Lauri Suoranta
