Has anyone installed the KDE port from the -current ports collection? I just did the other day and am having some problems getting it to work. I am running 2.2.2 RELEASE and installed all of the portions of the KDE using the ports (not the packages). I was a little confused about what I had to do to acutually run the window manager so, this is what I ended up doing: I found /usr/local/bin/kdm. I assumed this was some sort of display manager (analagous to xdm) so I shut down XDM and started KDM. When I start KDM I see the Accelerated X's giant X appear on my screen as I normall do when my X server is started. However, nothing happens after that....I don't get any sort of log in screen. The X just stays on the screen and I have to kill the server manually to get rid of it. Now, I don't know if I am even following the right procedure to use KDE by starting kdm, and I also don't know if there is anything else I need to do to get it to work, but I would appreciate any help/advice from anyone who has played with this port. Thanks to you in advance, -Jesse Troy jtroy@vt.edu http://www.helium.goof.com/~jtroy
