Installing KDE
Hello, Im new to freebsd and wanted to get my feet wet on this OS.
I installed kde from the ports but kdm start == command not found startx == command not found. evne when i try /usr/local/etc/rc.d/kdm start == command not found Basically I have a command prompt and would like KDE. No matter what i try to execute it says it cannot be found. The freebsd did create and populate /usr/local/kde4/bin but there is no startx or startkde in that directory I have downloaded and installed ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/re...86-dvd1.iso.gz Thanks in advance Last edited by EverydayDiesel; 25th August 2010 at 04:41 AM. |

thanks for the response, that got kde working
Now I am having a problem with the resolution. The ONLY resolution i have in the combo box available in kde is 1280x760 (i think its 760). My monitor is capable of 2560x1440. Does anyone know how I can get this resolution, I know the video card will support it since I ran this resolution in windoze. |

Did you generate a xorg.conf file? You must add this to it:
Code:
Section "Screen" [...] DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "2560x1440" EndSubSection EndSection

i read that turorial but i never could find the xorg.conf or the xorg executable
if i type Xorg in the command prompt i get a not found error. |

If you get a Command not found. error, then you still have not installed Xorg. This page should help with that. EDIT: or maybe you have installed it but the database has not been refreshed. In that case use # rehash and try again.
