Hello again, I am trying to get my newly installed XServer started, it seems as though the XServer starts (thank you Mr. Lentfer for the font help), but it cannot start KDE. The error I get from X is that it can't start kdeinit. Then X quits and I see this on the console: <snip> PEXExtensionInit: Couldn't open default PEX font file Roman_M /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libfreetype.so.6" not found /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libfreetype.so.6" not found Warning: connect() failed: : Connection refused Error: Can't contact kdeinit! Waiting for X Server to shut down <snip> Ok, so I did a knee-jerk reaction to my 'libfreetype.so.6' problem. I did a 'make deinstall reinstall clean' for XFree86-4-Server. That did not fix anything. That seems to be the fix for what I have found in google groups. So, I did a search on my system and found libfreetype.so.6 in /usr/X11R6/lib. Is this the proper location? I am getting close on this one, I know it. I guess I could try copying my .xinitrc file to a .xinitrc.old and see if twm loads or something.

That's what I have installed and seems to work: bash-2.05a$ pkg_info | grep font XFree86-font100dpi-4.2.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 100 dpi fonts XFree86-font75dpi-4.2.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 75 dpi fonts XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps-4.2.0 XFree86-4 default bitmap fonts XFree86-fontEncodings-4.2.0 XFree86-4 font encoding files XFree86-fontScalable-4.2.0 XFree86-4 Scalable font files freetype2-2.0.9 A free and portable TrueType font rendering engine hth, Jan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
