Try editing .xinitrc (notice the dot in front of it) in your home directory.
If there is a line startkde then comment it out by putting a # in front of it. Then add exec blackbox as the last line. Hope this helps |
i cant seem to find that dir in my root .. ???
|
go to /etc/X11/xinit/
and edit xinitrc or xinitrc.kde and change from startkde to exec blackbox |

In your home directory create a file named
.xinitrc The only line that has to be there is exec blackbox |
