    How To: Dual Boot Windows 7 and FreeBSD

    After some extensive reading and trial and error, I was able to successfully install FreeBSD alongside Windows 7 in a dual boot configuration. I chose to create this How-To, since some others were not specific, and had left me without the proper steps in mind. My computer is a Compaq...

    KDE4 doesn't load..

    Sorry!!! Don't disable dbus in rc.conf, just hald_enable. If dbus is disabled then you can't login, but mouse and keyboard work. Added dbus_enable to rc.conf and so far so good. Later!

    KDE4 doesn't load..

    I just wanted to thank everyone for all the posts. I found my solution and IT WORKS!!! I did some extensive searching and found that I can load KDE4 on FreeBSD 7.2,(Yes, I went back to 7.2), without hald_enable or dbus_enable in my rc.conf file. There is a snippet that I found that told me...

    KDE4 doesn't load..

    Sorry, to be the bearer of bad news, but since my last post I have reinstalled FreeBSD 6.4. I had tried to use not only, KDE, but XDM as well in a standalone with X, but none of the two would work. Either I had problems loading from startx, xinit, or from boot-up, while having numerous...

    KDE4 doesn't load..

    After careful consideration, I am going to go back to just command line usage. GUIs are nice, but not if they soak up a lot of time spending trying to configure issues such as start up, and program application stability. I'll leave that to someone with a little more understanding. Thanks...

    KDE4 doesn't load..

    It seems as though KDE isn't the only victim. It seems that 7.2 is causing problems because I cannot use xdm either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to login via xdm by startx, but the keyboard and mouse do not work in that environment either. Would it be wise to revert back...

    KDE4 doesn't load..

    I changed my ~/.xinitrc file under my user account. I am not sure how to check the xorg version. I tried using pkg_version xorg, but it gave me a long list and didn't say which version when coming to xorg, and also with X. I am not sure how to check X once KDE has been installed.

    KDE4 doesn't load..

    I just also tried to use startx after disabling ttys file on terminal 9, and it loads into kde, bypassing the login, but still no response from the keyboard or mouse. Thanks for the quick reply by the way.

    KDE4 doesn't load..

    I decided to go with 7.2 because I have read that it is sometimes better to go with the STABLE version rather than the CURRENT because the STABLE is more updated than the CURRENT version. I was using 6.4 up until recent, but decided to upgrade. My current settings for KDE are a ttys file for...

    KDE4 doesn't load..

    First, I hope this post is in the right section. Secondly, I need help. I have just installed FreeBSD 7.2 from a clean install, and installed all the ports from disc that I felt was needed. The problem is that I am trying to start up KDE4 and it would load up to the login screen, but...
