Hey. I did jump in logic assuming kde is to blame, so I tried fluxbox on this machine and everything runs normal, XOrg cpu usage is <1%. but while I was setting everything up some stuff happened that I would like to mention. First I noticed there are two instances of kdm running at the same time eve= n though I dont start it from rc.d, I only modified /etc/ttys file, also when I modified it to start fluxbox instead of kdm this error comes up: init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 secs I dont know if this is a different problem though. Then I decided to check out my xorg config file, I realized I was using the default one that loads in case you dont have one , and the next logical ste= p it was to create one to avoid this right? So I created the base file doing Xorg -configure, but when I tested it this time x dindt load, it said something about radeon module not located, I did a kldload radeon but still same error. So how am i running x right now? I added the fluxbox exec line to .xinitrc and did a startx, I guess Im using the same auto default config file that I used when i was running kdm, oh I almost forgot i did installed it from source. Thank you all for your response.
