.xinitrc & .xsession both have the same entries, exec startkde I know it's best to un xwindows from another user account rather than from root, but there had been no problem for weeks before this, after doing the initial install.

Xwindows just freezed up while trying to load & then the computer reboots. ----- Original Message ----- From: "herlan" <herlan_b@infofreebsd.org> To: "denny white" <dennywhite@yahoo.com> Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2001 9:26 PM Subject: Re: cvsup newbie problems > > try edit .xinitrc for root > > > http://www.infofreebsd.org > FreeBSD User Group in Indonesia > > On Sat, 30 Jun 2001, denny white wrote: > > > I installed freebsd without x & kde & got everything working > > right.
