Hi,

I'm attempting to run KDE 3.1.4, which would be running under Darwin 
7.0.0. I'm not normally particularly command-line literate, but I 
managed to download and use Konstruct to install the kdebase set of 
packages.

Now, somewhere on the KDE.org site I read that to start KDE I type 
startx... so I did, only to receive the following output:

This is a pre-release version of XFree86, and is not supported in any
way.  Bugs may be reported to [email protected] and patches submitted
to [email protected].  Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions,
please check the latest version in the XFree86 CVS repository
(http://www.XFree86.Org/cvs)

XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 18 October 2002
         If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your hardware is
         newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
         reporting problems.  (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Darwin

Fatal server error:
Could not find keymapping file USA.keymapping.

    OsVendorFatalError
    AbortDDX
Quitting XDarwin...
giving up.
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X 
server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

I'm not sure if I've come to the right place to get help with this, but 
as far as I can tell, my version of XFree86 is missing that one 
keymapping file. How do I then fix this?

Cheers,
David Still
