Noob here, I started out using packages to install FreeBSD/XWindows/KDE via the FreeBSD handbook. I got stuck so I followed another tutorial ( https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/...-set-up-a-freebsd-desktop-from-scratch.61659/ ) using ports. Right away when I first ran FreeBSD the video was off so I changed rc.conf to kern.vty=sc to fix it and haven't changed it. I stuck with the tutorial using ports until I came to the section for a Windows Manager, they were using Fluxbox and I wanted to use KDE so I skipped back too the FreeBSD handbook. I changed fstab and rc.conf to launch KDE. That didn't work so I changed xinitrc so startx would launch KDE. When I type startx to load KDE I get a blank screen. When I looked at xorg.conf to configure it for desktop effects it was the only file in the directory and it was blank, so I didn't enter all of the data. I wasn't able to get Compiz Fusion installed either since the installation only coverers using packages, not ports.
Feeling a little stuck especially after spending severals days building it using ports. Next time if I use ports I'm going to put something heavy on the enter key. Thanks in advance!
