Well, it's taken a month or so but it gave in. X starts with god knows what colour depth but if I remove all alternatives but that of 32 from XF86Config it works and I get my icons. Apparently X defaults to a lower colour depth. It didn't have anything to do with KDE. I don't know why this happends but if someone does I'd be really, really, happy to now. In Slackware Linux I haven't got this problem. cheers, Oskar >-----Original Message----- >From: Oskar Parmhed [mailto:oskarparmhed@hotmail.com] >Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2001 9:45 AM >To: KDE general mailing list >Subject: KDE with no icons or images > > >Hi list! > >I hope someone can find some time to help me out. > >I just installed freeBSD 4.2 last weekend.
