Yes. You need to install xorg instead. You can use pkg_add -r xorg which would be quicker than building the port. It's explained very well in the handbook, which also tells how to configure it when the install has finished: [2]http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html There's also a section (5.7.3.1) on enabling The KDE Display Manager: [3]http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html References 1. mailto:williamkow@yahoo.com 2. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-install.html 3. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html
