Karl,

Try this. What do you get, now.

#ls -l /usr/local/bin/kdeinit
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  39716 Sep 29 03:22 /usr/local/bin/kdeinit

#ls -l /usr/local/bin/startkde
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  11828 Jul 23 09:23 /usr/local/bin/startkde

#ls -l .xinitrc
-rw-r--r--  1 username  username  48 Sep 23 07:10 .xinitrc

#cat .xinitrc
exec startkde

Do you have xorg installed? xorg.conf is in place and configured? What happens 
if you:
#xdm
Does x start up?

Have you looked at the handbook for information on x? What about the FAQ? You 
have a permissions problem somewhere.

Don

Hi Karl,

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I had to weld up a special grill to go 
over a fire pit, and it took a long time. Then of course, it had to be tested 
with steaks, and of course, lots of beer. It worked great, looks good, I 
might have to sell some of these.

I think I've exhausted all of the things I can tell you to check. I haven't 
exhausted all of my knowledge, but I can't think of anything else to say. 
Somewhere, something doesn't have the correct permissions. Startkde is a 
script, if you go through it and check the permissions on what it's calling 
up, it may give you a better idea of where the problem is. When you find the 
problem, and I'm sure you will, it's probably going to be something so easy 
that you'll be kicking yourself for not seeing it. The brain is a funny 
thing, it will most often see what is expected, rather than what is.
