Sasa, Setting up X-Windows with XDM and KDE is covered in detail in the manual. You really should read it as unlike Windows or some flavors of Linux you will not get far. You could have found the answers to the questions you have asked in the manual, including this. The section is: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html KDE is generic and does not always sit well with FreeBSD which is better run from the command line as it is more suited to server applications which can do without the overhead of the GUI. BTW I have found that the easiest way of setting the screen resolution is to delete the unused settings so hat the scree section only has one in it.

Re: KDE How To ?
on a similar note, is it possible to create scripts that run after a user logs in. I'm setting up freeBSD as my home PC and I don't like to go right into KDE. However, I'd like startX to run when my wife logs in. Teo On 12/21/05, deej <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Boot the bugger up and just type kdm.
