That's no help: - kdm *is* a login manager. - startkde is what you use from .xinitrc. - kdm can be run from command line without problems, or you can add it to /etc/ttys, but you need a working X config first or you'll create a nice loop. As for the problem, the X server doesn't start up correctly, view /var/log/Xorg.0.log for information. -- Mel
