Re: Problem with X11 (KDE) on my Workstation

[Gerardo Santana Gómez Garrido <santana@openbsd.org.mx>]

This was already answered before.

a) edit your /home/you/.xinitrc file and write in it: startkde
   You're ready now for starting X+KDE

b) Upgrade your X version to 4.1.0. It's already in the OpenBSD CVS repository.
   That helped me.
