I updated my XFree86 because it had some things that I needed to do some work... but when I installed it the blasted thing overwrote some config file and now whenever I type "startx" KDE no longer starts and I just get these three weird-looking terminals with a clock in the upper right-hand corner of my screen. Can anyone tell me what I should edit to get back KDE?

You need to edit the .xsession, .xinitrc, or .Xclients files in your home directory (if there is not one in there just create one) so that it only has one line: startkde That should take care of your problems. :)

you could also just use startkde to kick X into gear instead of startx.

Actually, I tried that but it complained that X hadn't started yet. So, instead of starting up X and then typing startkde, I used the first meathod.

Thanks for the help! Now, back to the coding!
