startkde -> $DISPLAY not set.
Hello!
I installed KDE 3.2 with pacman. Now how can i start it? An "exec kde" or "exec kde3" in .xinitrc and a following "startx" doesn't work. So i found out, that i can launch KDE with "startkde". But then i get the error-message $DISPLAY not set 
!
How can i set $DISPLAY to launch KDE 3,2?

Re: startkde -> $DISPLAY not set.
Does your XFree86 start? just add a # before startkde and all other exec in the .xinitrc and look if your Xserver starts.
If it's not starting your XF86Config is not set properly.

Re: startkde -> $DISPLAY not set.
X starts (Nvidia drivers are installed - not "nv"-driver). .xinitrc didn't exist so i made a new one with "exec fluxbox" this works perfectly.

Re: startkde -> $DISPLAY not set.
It works now 
. It works with "exec startkde" and startx.
