Something strange happened here. If copying "xorg.conf.new" on
/etc/X11/ and renaming it as "xorg.conf". I can't start X, the HD only
turning. Now I don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I can start KDE (not
Gnome). I don't know which "xorg.conf" I am now running.
I can toggle resolution to increase font size on browser witn

This won't work since those are just the windowmanagers - you need an X
server to start them.
However you could solve it with some small scripts:
start-gnome.sh:
#!/bin/sh
rm -f ~/.xinitrc
ln -s ~/.xinitrc_gnome ~/.xinitrc
startx
.xinitrc_gnome:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/gnome-session
start-kde.sh:
#!/bin/sh
rm -f ~/.xinitrc
ln -s ~/.xinitrc_kde ~/.xinitrc
startx
.xinitrc_gnome:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/startkde
make sure all of these files are executable (chmod 755 )
the .xinitrc* files have to be in your home directory - start-gnome.sh
and start-kde.sh in any directory in your PATH (eg. ~/bin if it's only
for one user)

Your advice worked here starting KDE.
What I'm trying to do is running;
$ startkde
will start K desktop
$ gnome-session
will start Gnome desktop
Tks.

If you're going to use "startx" you will need a ${HOME}/.xinitrc with
the following contents:
#/bin/sh
startkde
Make sure the file is 755 permissions. This will start up X with KDE.
I would suggest you configure /etc/ttys to start up KDM instead of
using "startx"
Cheers.

kde and gnome/gtk font appearance...
I was wondering if anyone could explain this discrepancy in font appearance. Here is how fonts appear on my desktop apps in gnome/metacity. http://img110.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkdegfpfa8.jpg Here is how fonts appear by default in kde/kwin. http://img300.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkdewt9.jpg And here is how fonts appear in kde/kwin after I manually run the gnome-font-properties app. http://img110.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkdegfpuh0.jpg I've tried kde with and without xfs as well as xfstt. In kde control center, I've configured it to use the same exact fonts and font sizes as gnome-font-properties. I've also set the anti-aliasing options to match up. So basically I'd like to run kde with my fonts appearing like they do in gnome. Does anyone have advice? Is there some gnome program I could have kde automatically launch to get the results I want?
