Hello, I have to admit that this message 'all is fine' was to fast; the Xorg came only up *once* and let the KDE3.5.10 fully appear; I was even able to switch the font size from 8 to 12, because with this high resolution it was nearly unreadable. after stopping X with Ctrl-Alt-BS I was never ever able to bring X + KDE up; while KDE is initialising at some point the X goes into 100% of CPU usage; it is not a CPU-loop itself inside the X server, but a loop of SIG 14 as I can proof with truss from another session: SIGNAL 14 (SIGALRM) sigreturn(0xbfbfe500,0xe,0x0,0xbfbfe500,0x0,0x8127070) = 678420552 (0x286fe048) SIGNAL 14 (SIGALRM) sigreturn(0xbfbfe500,0xe,0x0,0xbfbfe500,0x0,0x8127070) = 678420552 (0x286fe048) SIGNAL 14 (SIGALRM) sigreturn(0xbfbfe500,0xe,0x0,0xbfbfe500,0x0,0x8127070) = 678420552 (0x286fe048) SIGNAL 14 (SIGALRM) ... when I only start via ~/.xinitrc a 'xterm' and 'twm' there is no problem, but as soon I'm launching 'startkde' inside such a session the above loop comes up and only power cycle bring the system back to life. What can I do? I have also removed ~/.kde and ~/Desktop to let KDE init a fresh environment, no luck. I'm not using HAL with KDE. The 'vesa' driver works but only gives 1024x??? resolution (don't remember the exact 2nd size right now), but this is not an option to go; is it possible to get higher res with 'vesa'? If someone wants me debugging something, please tell me how; I could even provide SSH access to the laptop (because it is still nearly empty), please contact me off-list for this.
