Broken extension

[jewsofeast]

Hi,

I tried configuring KDE desktop as per http://rhyous.com/2009/12/18/how-to-install-and-configure-a-freebsd-8-desktop-with-xorg-and-kde/, when I start X the screen turns black and gray, I guess it is not configured correctly.

On hitting ctl-alt-F1 I get an error,

RECORD extension is known to be broken, disabling extension now
Failed to switch consoles (invalid arguement)

How to fix this?

best,

david

X Server Error

I've now disabled record extension from xorg.conf, still no X.

Here is some additional info from /var/log/Xorg.0.log

_XSERVTransSocket INETCreateListener:...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeA11COTSServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running

It says kdehier package wasnt found. Should I install it, I've installed kde from sysinstall and it picked up dependencies; I didnt add anything to it.
