Have you tried "startx" to see which WM starts up?

How to start KDE automatically at booting
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 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
