Re: cant start my kde

Maybe a bad ~/.Xauthority?

Re: cant start my kde

How can i config .Xauthority?
And I think the problem is "unable to open display ".
I've installed serval wms, but only xfce4 can work, while the others are not able to open display.

Re: cant start my kde

Is xorg working? Do you have any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Did you change .xinitrc?
