If you are unable to login to X via kdm after portupgrading to the latest=20
kdebase port and you're getting these or similar messages on the console

/kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[447]: Can't execute=20
"/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xstartup": No such file or directory
/kernel: Aug 13 17:12:10 kiste kdm: :0[432]: Cannot execute startup script=

/kernel: Aug 13 17:12:12 kiste kdm: :0[458]: Can't execute=20
"/usr/local/share/config/kdm/Xsetup": No such file or directory

please do the following:

1.) Copy /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc away to a safe place, for exampl=
e=20
your home directory ( cp /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc ~/ )

2.) Run, as root: genkdmconf --no-old

3.) Put your copy of kdmrc back to /usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (cp=20
~/kdmrc /usr/local/share/config/kdm/ )

Optional step 4.) Run, as root: genkdmconf (without any options) to update=
=20
your kdmrc to the lastest configfile format

Note for advanced users: Substitute /usr/local with your custom PREFIX if=20
you're using one.
