I've done more testing and still no KDE4 running. I realized I had |
| 19 |
/etc/rc.conf edited to start kde3.5 as well, so I changed it, but |
| 20 |
there's a catch to this. If I edit DISPLAYMANAGER to 'KDE-4.0' I can't |
| 21 |
set it that way in rc.conf, which looks at /etc/X11/Sessions for it's |
| 22 |
info (apparently). An ls of that directory doesn't show 'kde-4.0' it |
| 23 |
only has 'kde-4'. So, when I edited rc.conf for 'kde-4', I still got |
| 24 |
the old school XDM session, but I got an error about the ~/.kde symlink |
| 25 |
being wrong. I assume that's progress, but I don't know. I still don't |
| 26 |
get KDE4 on my system, so I'm stuck. Anyone got any ideas? |
