OK, finally getting somewhere. I did: apt-get remove kde kdm dpkg --force-depends -r xfree86-common xserver-xfree86 xlibs apt-get autoclean apt-get install xfree86-common xserver-xfree86 xlibs apt-get install kde kdm dpkg-reconfigure kdm With kdm debugging enabled, I'm now getting an error in syslog to the effect that "can't start /urs/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA" I've uninstalled XF86_SVGA and reconfigured xfree. Manually starting xfree with "startx" works fine, using xserver-xfree86. I assume that kdm still trying to use the old server is the result of an error in a configuration file somewhere. Which configuration file would cause kdm to use a different server than startx?
