If I switch in KDM to using TWM window manager (instead of KDE), login and then logout, I'm stuck in the same way. XDM: If I edit /etc/ttys to use xdm instead of kdm and reboot I get login/password prompt, then a very primitive TWM window manager, When choose exit on the menu (with one gets by left-clicking the mouse) the frames arround the windows disappear and I don't get the menu back, the only thing I can do is to to console mode and shutdown -r now (and first edit /etc/ttys again for kdm) Is there a command to - restart the kdm window manager (after it died) from a root console prompt? - stop en start a running kwm window manager from a root console prompt? Concerning my initial problem - I remember that I wanted to change the home-dir of both user1 and user2, therefore in console as root did a rmuser, then adduser for both. Can this cause this dying of KDM manager? > >> >> The /var/log/kdm-log shows: >> ------ >> ... >> X.Org X Server 1.4.0 >> Release Date: 5 September 2007 >> X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 >> Build Operating System: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE i386 >> Current Operating System: FreeBSD pclinwi74.cmi.ua.ac.be 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7. >> 0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008 root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/ >> obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 >> Build Date: 13 February 2008 05:50:12PM >> >> Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org >> to make sure that you have the latest version. >> Module Loader present >> Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, >> (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, >> (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. >> (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Wed Nov 26 16:27:31 2008 >> (EE) Unable to locate/open config file >> New driver is "i810" >> (==) Using default built-in configuration (55 lines) >> (EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0) >> (II) Module "ddc" already built-in >> (II) Module "ramdac" already built-in >> FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; >> fixing. >> FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; >> fixing. >> (EE) I810(0): V_BIOS address 0x0 out of range >> >> Fatal server error: >> Caught signal 11.
