Thats what has happened, I have moved the files in question over to /usr/bin/X11/ and that seems to have fixed it, kdm starts as default now and goes to the login GUI. > So those tgz's weren't built specifically for Debian?

Well the strange thing is that I had installed them before after upgrading from XFree86V3* and everything worked 1st time ;-o So I now have the problem that I think I saw mentioned somewhere recently. That is when I select a user in the login GUI and select the session, it takes a server restart before the keyboard is recognised. Then when I have entered my password I just end up back at the GUI again after an attempt at opening desktop. Oh well more investigations ;-) Thanks for you help so far. wonder if its a problem with a lib? I seem to remember sommat not being installed correctly, I feel a new post coming on ;-O Regards -- John Be careful of reading health books, you might die of a misprint. -- Mark Twain mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lordofchaos.co.uk ICQ 110130385 Nick = Chaos A1200 BlizzardPPC 240mhz 060/50 BlizzardVision OS3.9
