Brett,

startkde isn't working, because X11 has not be started yet, so there are no=

sessions for it to connect to.    This is, iirc, the normal behavior. =20
Generally, people could start a generic x session and run startkde from an=

xterm in that session.  Having an "exec startkde" in your .xinitrc file jus=

basically does this for you.

As far as your other problem, we'd need more information about your setup. =

What did you do/not do to get kdm working.

Give us the info and we should be able to help you.
