Hi,

I do everything from the book I got.(The Complet FreeBSD 4th edition)
Everything was going fine until the book telling me to CREATE A FILE
" .xinitrc " in my home directory.
Well, How can I do that?? and why do I need it?
I installed only KDE so would it work if I will only type " startx" ??
I have not try to do it yet becouse I don't want to mess up anything.
Thank you for all the help advance

To create the .xinitrc:
echo "exec startkde" > .xinitrc
Then type startx

Note that if you installed KDE through sysinstall it will have did this
for you.  Have you tried "startx" to see which WM starts up?  Have you
checked to see if a .xinitrc file already exists?

ee .xinitrc

No, the default windowmanager is twm, which is installed with X

Edit /etc/ttys, replace /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm with /usr/local/bin/kdm and
change the "off" to "on on that line.

How to start KDE automatically at booting

2004-02-27 Thread Stephen Liu
Hi Folks,

I am compelled to start KDE from multi-user mode with following command;

# kdm &

I tried following steps without success;

creating /usr/local/etc/rc.d/kguilogin.sh with only 2 lines
#! /bin/sh
kdm &
or with
exec "kdm &"
kdm
xinit kdm
xinit /usr/local/bin/kdm --
xinit /usr/local/bin/kdm
and chmod 500 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/kguilogin.sh. On booting it only 
booted to multi-user mode.

Kindly advise how to make KDE started automatically at booting

TIA
Stephen Liu
