Hi All,
Firstly, sorry for my long question.
I have been using KDE on Linux since 2002.
And I have been using FreeBSD since 2005.
KDE ran pretty well on FreeBSD box for my old machine.
Mid last year I bought a new machine, HP Pavilion p6276l Home PC.
I installed FBSD 8.1R and KDE shipped with DVD.
It could not startx. The GUI screen was still black and only a small square box
appeared on the screen. This square box moved responding to mouse movement.
I tried re-installing it several times, the problem persisted.
I mostly code C without GUI so I have left it untouched since then.
Recently last weekend, I tried installing FBSD 8.2R and KDE4-4.5.5 from DVD.
(fresh installation) The same problem persists in this version.
Only a small square box appears on black GUI screen.
I cannot do any GUI stuffs but command line interface.
Anyone who has any clues or experieces this problem, please point me out.
Thank you in advance.
Here is my related configurations...
/etc/rc.conf
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
~/.xinitrc
exec /usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde
(I did not forget to chmod a+x ~/.xinitrc)
