other big problem because i have had this response at lot off attemptings: 
/usr/X11R6/ exists but is not a symlink. I have understoot in bad english 
that in the new versions , this file /usr/X11R6 must be only a symlink.

what i must do to updtate and make all the corrections for all the ports?
i think that there is a problem with a few of my ports, i can delete all the 
ports and install them in new ? like this i will have a system clean.

thin you.
what is error code 1? can i install all x window systeme? with sysinstall lot 
of packages are not installed: errors and failed are returned.

It does sound like xorg 6.9 is installed. You can tell by doing

   pkg_info | less

as root. If you see something like

   xorg-6.9.0  X.Org distribution metaport
   xorg-clients-6.9.0_3 X client programs and related files from X.Org
   xorg-documents-6.9.0 Documentation of X11 protocol and libraries from X.Org
   xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.9.0_1 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts
   xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.9.0_1 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts
   xorg-fonts-cyrillic-6.9.0_1 X.Org Cyrillic bitmap fonts
   xorg-fonts-encodings-6.9.0_1 X.Org font encoding files
   xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-6.9.0_1 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts
   xorg-fonts-truetype-6.9.0 X.Org TrueType fonts
   xorg-fonts-type1-6.9.0 X.Org Type1 fonts
   xorg-fontserver-6.9.0_1 X font server from X.Org
   xorg-libraries-6.9.0_1 X11 libraries and headers from X.Org
   xorg-manpages-6.9.0 X.Org library manual pages
   xorg-nestserver-6.9.0_1 Nesting X server from X.Org
   xorg-printserver-6.9.0_2 X Print server from X.Org
   xorg-server-6.9.0_6 X.Org X server and related programs
   xorg-vfbserver-6.9.0_2 X virtual framebuffer server from X.Org
   xterm-225   Terminal emulator for the X Window System

then you have xorg installed. If xorg-6.9 is installed there is no need to 
upgrade to 7.2 unless 6.9 does not work on your hardware.


If you also installed kde from the installation CD you will see something like:

  kde-3.5.6   The "meta-port" for KDE

followed by a bunch of lines starting with kde.

Did you follow the instructions in the handbook, 5.4: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html?


If you did this, and kde is not installed, try creating a file named .xsession 
as


   #!/bin/sh
   /usr/X11R6/bin/twm

and then type xdm from the console to start X. This gives you a very simple 
and (hopefully) self-explanatory window manager.


If all this works you can try to install kde as a package (i.e., pre-compiled) 
by:


   setenv PACKAGEROOT ftp://ftp2.FreeBSD.org (use the mirror nearest you)
   pkg_add -r kde

or you can install kde from your install CD. It is probably on disk 2. I 
personally think installing kde from packages is easier, especially if you are 
just starting out. There are easily 100+ packages required to support kde. It 
takes a long time to build and all the required packages.


Hope this helps. If you are going to use ports (i.e. build from source), it is 
(to me) much harder when you are starting out unless you know make and a bit of 
C, C++ so you can interpert the errors. In any case you should also update your 
port tree as previously suggested.

Hi!
It seems to me like your ports tree is not up to date.
The first thing you want to do is update it. The easiest method is
portsnap. This is explained in the handbook.
Then there are 2 possibilities:
Either you have an old version of X installed (which seems to be the
case). You will then have to update X by following the steps described
in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
Or you don't have X installed. In this case you should build it with
cd /usr/ports/x11/xorg && make install clean
Anyway it would be of great help if you could provide a more exhaustive
error log and the output of pkg_info to see what you have installed.

If some things seem unclear and you have difficulties with English I
can reply in French.

Bien le bonjour de Nancy!
Jona
