Dear all, My apologizes for asking a question which is not so related to the list ... Here it goes: I have a machine recently upgraded to FreeBSD-Stable 3.3 through cvsup+make world. Some weeks later I decided to give KDE a try, by (cd /usr/ports/x11/kde11-i18n;make install). Everything went smoothly except the KDM, which seems couldn't let me login. After entering the correct userid and password at the KDM welcome window, then for a very short period of time the screen becomes black, very short in fact. After that the KDM welcome window will just reappear again. The password checking part is fine, if I enter the wrong password, some error message will be printed on the KDM welcome window. I've checked the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config file. No any error message printed in the DisplayManager.errorLogfile (which is the standard xdm-errors). I also couldn't find anything in the ~/.xsession-errors file. in fact, nothing at all in these two files. I have a ~/.xsession file, which is a symbolic link to ~/.Xclients (mode: 0755). The KDM was started by typing "kdm" when login as root. Oddly enough, if I run xdm instead of kdm, everything just works fine. I can login successfully and whatever program specified in ~/.Xclients will be executed, error message/output will also started filling the two error log files (/usr/X11/...../xdm-errors and ~/.xsession-errors). I've searched the KDE mailing list, seems someone also facing the same problem. Too bad he said he had solve it, by looking at the two error log file (xdm-error, ~/.xsession-error). As ususal, any comments/hints will be much appreciated. Thanks for your time!
