I also installed Xorg from /stand/sysinstall (not from the ports) and then KDE 3.3 from the ports. When I launch kdm and log in, Xorg ignores my .xsession or .xinitrc files (whichever I have created) and loads only an xterm window (with no window management around it.) I need to type 'startkde' in this window to actually kick KDE off and get it initiated, and upon closing this window Xorg terminates itself. As a result now, whenever I log in I need to manually type 'startkde' and then keep this xterm window open on another desktop somewhere out of the way. This happens both through kdm and initiating 'startx' from the command line. I have made my .xsession file mode 755 for good measure and also tried both just 'startkde' and '/usr/local/bin/startkde'. No difference. Has anyone else experienced any problems of a similar nature? Does anyone have any possible fixes? $ cat .xsession /usr/local/bin/startkde $ pkg_info | grep xorg xorg-clients-6.7.0_3 X client programs and related files from X.Org xorg-documents-6.7.0 Documentation of X11 protocol and libraries from X.Org xorg-fonts-100dpi-6.7.0 X.Org 100dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-75dpi-6.7.0 X.Org 75dpi bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-encodings-6.7.0 X.Org font encoding files xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-6.7.0 X.Org miscellaneous bitmap fonts xorg-fonts-truetype-6.7.0 X.Org TrueType fonts xorg-libraries-6.7.0_1 X11 libraries and headers from X.Org xorg-manpages-6.7.0 X.Org library manual pages xorg-server-6.7.0_5 X.Org X server and related programs -- Adam Smith Internode : http://www.internode.on.net Phone : (08) 8228 2999
