problemo

[Subhro]

Make a file called .xinitrc in your home directory. The file would
contain only "startkde" without the "s in the first line. Save and
exit the file. Next start the X server using "startx" without the "s
if you have installed the wrapper port or with "X" without the "s if
you havent. You should be back in track.

Regards
S.
