I once had a system auto-loging into a KDE session and launching a VNC server to solve that issue before I decided to scrap X altogether.



Getting a working KDE _on_ the system, depends on how you start X. I.e. .xinitrc, .xsession, using XDM/KDM/GDM; you might want to be a bit more specific on that side.


You need the BSD machine to either automatically have X started or provide a way to start it on demand: Adjust your login on the machine to set $DISPLAY accordingly.

I think you'll have to set $DISPLAY to YourVistaMachinesAddress:0.0.

Then enable X11 forwarding in your PuTTY options and the FreeBSD machines sshd server (man sshd_config) accordingly.
