I searched the page I followed.. there is no result even for “xin”,
Should I create it then? What should I put in it?

If you have sddm, you do not need .xinitrc.

SDDM needs no configuration and can recognize multiple WM-s. KDE Plasma and Mate for example. It lets you choose your WM and remembers the selection.

... and you have your user in video group grep video /etc/group

In console as root just service sddm start. SDDM should start. From SDDM (or WM) you can break into console by Ctrl-Alt-F1...F8 and come back to SDDM Alt-F9.

Sorry! I’m absolutely new to FreeBSD.

Try switching the console by hitting ALT-F9.

And you can also try service sddm restart

If that does not help, see the logs in /var/log/sddm.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Does it look good?

Seems that DRM is loaded. Is it the whole Xorg log. It should be much longer?

Also ls -l ~/.Xauthority in your own user (not root).

grep dbus /etc/rc.conf

grep "\[drm\]" /var/log/messages

pkg info graphics/drm-fbsd13-kmod

ps -ax|grep Xorg when SDDM is running

X isn't supposed to be running when you start sddm. It's sddm that starts it. You still have an (old) X session running, and that's causing sddm to fail to start.

mmm... I am not sure I understand... more than "SDDM is a modern display manager for X11 and Wayland aiming to be fast, simple and beautiful. It uses modern technologies like QtQuick,.."

Well, I'm still...

Need to run KDE as user "limo"
Need to get WiFi

I may drop -for now- the issue of not booting to KDE directly.

From Xorg logs I can see that [ 97.078] (==) Not automatically adding GPU devices
For some reason it does not detect the GPU device.

Your DRM is the version drm-fbsd13-kmod-5.4.92.g20210419 as a comparison I have drm-fbsd13-kmod-5.4.144.g20210908

You can try as a root in ~ Xorg -configure
This will do nothing but probes the devices and writes down a file /root/xorg.conf.new . See that file and post here. Looks like the Xorg is not detecting the GPU.

Perhaps somebody has ideas here? Can it be that DRM does not work with your kernel. Personally I have always built the DRM from source. This is a critical component.

Try to build it from source.

Maybe there is one command to give user "limo" some privilege as root to "startx" as "limo". Any?

What should this do? Run as user "limo" or boot to KDE?

What SirDice is saying is that if you used startx to start X, then you of course cannot start it again with sddm.
Restart your computer, do not do anything. If your computer boots to tty (black screen with login: prompt) then login as root, do service sddm onestart. I am confused now, because the advices coming in are all over the place, the fact that you did create two threads with the same issue does not help readability either.

There we go. Per FreeBSD Graphics Wiki, just take a look at Intel Graphics section. Delete the amdgpu references from /etc/rc.conf.

Two threads? Same topic? Which ones?
As far as I remember I made one thread for WiFi, and this one for KDE.

Apologies. Seems I have taken a lot of effort from you.

Thank you all for everything. I learnt a lot here.

Thank you.

Ok, I'll try this.

Don't run startx as root.

From a terminal logged in as root, run sysrc dbus_enable="YES" and sysrc sddm_enable="YES"

Reboot the system. Wait a few moments and a graphical login screen should appear with a blue blackground. This is the sddm login manager. Login as "limo" -- don't login as "root".

If this still doesn't work, please let us know. Thanks & good luck.

Oh, I am sorry, I confused this thread with some other, or maybe it flipped in my mind only, not sure anymore {or maybe it got merged/deleted}. To be honest, I installed KDE right now, you inspired me to do so, it was only a few steps really. I am enjoying it so far, KDE looks very nice (as it always did, the best looking DE there is).

I am not sure anymore what you did with your system, at first you followed some guide, which basically led you step-by-step through standard installation and then through the sysutils/desktop-installer script. I did exactly the same thing two weeks ago on another computer and it just worked out of the box (I had to twiddle with nvidia drivers, but that's another story and with intel graphics, you should not have such a problem). Then this thread became a bit more chaotic to follow.

Basically, you need to solve two things:

graphics drivers (which should be loaded, as you logged in as root and it worked with startx, and also I saw kldstat with i915kms loaded somewhere above)
login manager (sddm), which is not a hard requirement, but certainly is convenient.

When you open an X-session with startx as root, you must close it/kill it before you can open another one! This seems to be confusing you. You need to log out of KDE as root and kill the X-session and return to tty, if you used startx. Otherwise nor sddm nor startx will work. There can only be one active X-session opened at a time. This is not FreeBSD-specific.
