Funny thing happened. I logged out and logged back in, run level 3. At the prompt I typed "startkde" and here are the error messages that resulted: xsetroot: unable to open display '' xrdb: Can't open display" xset: unable to open display"" startkde: Starting up... ksplash: cannot connect to X server kdeinit: Aborting. $Display not set Warning: connect () failed: :no such file or directory Error: Can't contact kdeinit! startkde: Running shutdown scripts... startkde: Done. Then I typed startx and the X server started up --- in KDE, what is happening??? I am now in KDE and I don't dare switch --- who knows what will happen. Thanks.
