Solved Can't Install KDE

I'm a long time Linux geek but this is my first experinence with Unix. I installed FreeBSD 7.2 on VmWare with x11 no problem. I read this about installing KDE and re-installed the distro to try installing kde from the installation of FreeBSD. I marked every KDE package I could, rebooted, and nothing. Typed "startx" at the command-line and 2 gui consoles popped up that froze the OS. Went back in and tried to re-install kde with ports. I went to both /usr/ports/x11/kde3 and /usr/ports/x11/kde4 and tried "make install clean" with both of these only to get the same results. After a long install it would eventually crap out with a bunch of error1 messages. I'm about to throw in the towel but decided to give this one last chance and post here. Call me a wuss, but I like a little bit of gui.
 
I followed the link mfaridi posted. After using pkg_add I tried installing kde3 again. Was asked to uninstall the previous, did that. Installed again and no errors. Edited the xinitrc file like the link said. Typed "startx" at the command-line and sure enough there was a welcome screen for KDE. I was so happy until I realized that neither the mouse, enter, or tab key worked. I could not finish the simple kde configuration...
