You need to setup your .Xdefaults and .xinitrc in your home directory. Here is a sample that should get you started. You can also modify the system xinitrc file if you so choose to start kde by default. .xinitrc ===================================================== xrdb -load .Xdefaults xmodmap -e 'keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Meta_L' # The following line is key to getting kde to show up... startkde ===================================================== .Xdefaults ===================================================== XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^? XTerm*termName: xterm-color ===================================================== As always, your mileage may vary Gene On Sunday 03 June 2001 08:08, Dan Anderson babbled on about: > Hi, > > I recently installed a fresh 4.3 without X.
