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: 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: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11-wm.html -- Thanks, John.
