quick help ...

[andrei]

Thank you .. this has been a great help but still have 2 problems   
after installing kde i went on the website and made the changes: 
 
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession               and added 
kde) 
       exec /usr/local/bin/startkde 
       ;;                                         
                                        i am running only kde 
then ... it said to go to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xsetup_0        and add 
 
/usr/loacal/bin/kdmdesktop 
 
then i went in /etc and in the ttys file i have changed  
 
/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm to   /usr/X11R6/bin/kdm  and from off to on 
 
those were all the changes i have made and i also added exec startkde 
in .xinitrc 
 
there is a login manager but when i log in kde is not starting up and 
still no "gui" kde in the user andrei only root ... 
                  Thank you and hopefully i can make this work ... 
 
I added it but then on request i have removed it and curiously there is 
no kdmdesktop in the bin directory for some reason 
  
Hi!  
  
1. Well instead of pressing enter you can let the timeout occur.  
Standard is 10 seconds. If this is still too long add the following line  
to /boot/loader.conf:  
  
autoboot_delay=SECONDS  
  
However I would not go too short here, since you might want to able to  
go to i.e. single user mode.  
  
2. If I understand that right you want a graphical login right from the  
start?! To do this edit the file /etc/ttys. In the line of your login  
manager like xdm or kdm make sure it's says "on", like:  
  
ttyv8   "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   on  secure  
  
3. I dont know what you did with Xsession or Xsetup_0 (I left mine  
default) but if you want your user andrei to use KDE simply add  
  
exec startkde  
  
to his  
  
.xinitrc. That should do the job.  
  
HTH  
  
Cheers,
